StumbleUpon may indeed be the greatest time-waster ever since the invention of Facebook … yes, I know that was just invented, but it’s the digital age, so you’ve got to be bored with it already and looking for something new.

SU allows you to literally ‘stumble’ around the Internet, finding new and exciting Web sites that are just a click away. After downloading the program and making a profile, you choose the specific categories you would like to include in your search. Be warned though, a subject like ‘animations’ brings up everything from conspiracies about the moon landing to old Calvin and Hobbes comics to recipes about fun ways to combine cooking and pot.

All Web sites on StumbleUpon are picked by other people, so it creates a varied assortment of material that’s interesting to everyday Internet users. And if you find something you enjoy, you can click a button to save it to your profile page and create a list of the sites you enjoy. You can even add your own favorite Web sites for others to stumble into.

StumbleUpon can be downloaded from www.stumbleupon.com and loads directly onto your browser as a toolbar. The one problem is that it only works for Firefox, instead of Internet Explorer. But let’s be fair, if you haven’t switched yet, then there is no way you’re cool enough to be using this program. For everyone else though, download StumbleUpon and begin your time-wasting journey around the World Wide Web.
