So I need to admit I have a problem in order to cope with my addiction right? Well I AM ADDICTED TO STUMBLE UPON.
For those of you who don't spend most of your time on the Internet (and this I admire about you) Stumble Upon is this website where you create an account, pick out some topics that interest you, and then "stumble" across the Internet.
By Stumble I mean the website directs you to sites you might find interesting based on the topics you chose and then you can like or dislike them and refine your interests through your Stumble account.
When it gets interesting is when you download the Firefox toolbar. Then you can "Thumb up" and tag ANYTHING on the Internet. I thought this was pretty lame too until I started following other people's account. Some people generate hundreds of thousands of hits for a website through their Stumbles!
What is also really awesome is the more you Stumble and "Thumb up" sites that a lot of other people "thumb up" the more legit your Stumble cred becomes.
It's like a huge filing cabinet for everything on the Internet. I am in love.
