Personally I think this is one of the smartest deals this year. I’ve been a happy StumbleUpon user for several years. My 2 years anniversay is in two weeks. Feel free to add me: dennisbp to your friends list.
Some might call it a time waster, but it is a good time waster. Yes, you can get side tracked, but it is also good for blog research. How do you use StumbleUpon?
