Recently I’ve been coming across some interesting websites either on stumble or just through general browsing, for example I found this link (NSFW!) through the b3ta newsletter earlier.
I personally find the content to be fascinating, in both good and bad ways, but I’m not here to debate the ethics of photographing naked women who are high on heroin!
In regards to stumble I ‘like’ something if its funny or it makes me laugh but there are those times where you find an article that is interesting to you and you do ‘like’ it, but not in the way that you would click ‘I like this’. After all, if I did click it then I could very well end up with other similar websites cropping up in my stumbles in the future and its not like that particular website is full of documentry, journalism or topical issues!
What sort of things do you like when you stumble?
I’m quite an odd guy when it comes to StumbleUpon. Sometimes I’ll find a great read, but I’m worried if I thumb it up, I’ll end up with more Sarah Palin portraits. Usually, if it’s something funny that I shouldn’t have bumped in to with my settings, I’ll try to restrain myself and just click next.
If it’s good and I don’t really enjoy it personally but appreciate the quality, I’ll probably thumb it up and hope someone who is following me enjoys it.
Or, on rainy afternoons, I just hop around like this guy:
I usually stumble cool DIY tutorials, or just stuff I want to bookmark but don’t want to add to my regular bookmarks. Yes, I’m weird.
I’m pretty sure that those photos would scare people sober. Hell,I’m thinking twice to ever drink again.
To answer your question, I don’t stumble much. I don’t find much use for it, and think it’s dying. Twitter has pretty much become my stumbleupon, rss reader & delicious account!
