@achewood You are on the Night Train. Five Hours have passed. Axl Rose is in the gym car. It's not what you expected.

Anyone using it? It's great: http://stumbleupon.com.

It's both a toolbar for your browser and a personal page, where you can display your fave pics and websites. As you go surfing and tagging your favorite stuff  into appropriate categories, you help creating a database that feeds this little button on your browser. Whenever you click it, it fetches and displays a fresh website from said database, according to your subjects of interest. Kinda like zapping through infinite TV channels.

My page there is http://yu-huang.stumbleupon.com (my last entry there was actually stolen from the Achewood Forum - Beatrice's post about the Poe Toaster).

Yeah, I get a few hundred hits a month from people submitting my sites to Stumbleupon.  I guess it's nice to be listed, but really, I have a hard enough time keeping up with links people post here (and at Waxy.org) so I don't see the need to have more random shit showing up in my browser.  Especially since when I'm not doing work I'm not getting paid.

Yes, I like how it shows me nice things for to look at, but I got a little weirded out by it when I started getting "reviewed"

I used that for a little bit but I just didn't really like the sites that other people liked. I guess I'm an old stick in the mud, to set in my ways to change, not having any truck with your new fangled 'eljays' or MySpace pages.
