The registration process was painless. It asked for quick sign up of email, username and password and then generated a list of interests for you to tick. Once signed up you can start stumbling immediately, they use a new across the top almost part of the browser stumble bar with easy access to social networking sites. There are thumbs up/down buttons so StumbleUpon can get to know you better as you go along.
Needless to say it didn't take long for me to relapse, and I was stumbling along happily.... here are the top five sites stumble has brought to me.
1. 500 Chrome Experiments
This is fun site to visit. The very best and most creative web coding out there all in one place. Chrome Experiments is an institution dedicated to exploring the possibilities of code for the web... this site is a celebration of 500 of those experiments. all in one place!.... there are plenty of unique ways to pass the time here so have fun and explore.
2. NMNH: Virtual Tour
Tickets to Washington D.C. are pricey right?... well Google still have not perfected a teleportation device yet (though I'm sure there is one on the way) but we do have the next best thing. This virtual tour of the National Museum of Natural Art is an impressive example of what we can achieve via the internet. This site is the closest thing you will get to virtual reality without putting your hand in your pocket.
3. Top 100 Photos of 2012
Everybody likes a bit of good photography. So here is some of the best I have seen on the net. Why 2012? well that's where StumbleUpon sent me. So sit back get, your scroll finger out and get ready to be inspired.
4. Write a Letter to Future You
I liked this site and felt I should put it in this list based on it's simplicity alone. There is nothing complicated about it and I think the Idea is brilliant idea. I was also shocked to see it because I had just published the installment of my blog that had my life goals and this was one of them, strange. The process is simple, pick a date, write a letter to yourself, enter your email address and Bob's your uncle... the letter will be sent to your email on the date you selected... I recommend picking one a few years away at least.
5. BetaMaXas: Retro TV
Ever wondered what it would be like to jump back into the 80's and just well, watch TV?... there wasn't a whole lot else going on was there... This cool little site lets you feel like Marty McFly having some downtime... It brings the 80's/70's TV experience to life... sit back and enjoy!
