Stumble!

The term "social bookmarking," isn't the proper term to describe randomly clicking through the internet with the intent of wasting time. This of course is my personal opinion which may have something to do with my choice for favorite "social bookmarking" site. The big three sites that are involved in this category are of course Digg.com, Stumbleupon.com and reddit.com.

  No one ever became anything special by making something that is supposed to be simple more complicated. That being said, both digg.com and reddit.com over complicate the process of me having tons of irrelevant information thrown at me based on my interests. Stumbleupon.com has the perfect platform to deliver this in the most user friendly way. You literally select your interests from a huge selection of topics that include everything from Artificial Intelligence to Zoology and literally everything in between. Following these five minutes of your time, the only additional effort you need to put into your newly found pass time is clicking the STUMBLE! button (below).

 Personally, the layout of reddit looks like it got lost in the 90's and the process of finding something interesting makes you feel like your actually there. Although digg.com has a much more updated layout you still have to do some digging (HA) before finding articles on specific topics as the site is not that organized. In fact it kind of looks like the internet threw up on a page. Despite Reddit's large dedicated following I would still recommend Stumbleupon to anyone who wants to kill an hour or two before work or class.
