Stumbleupon

When you're fed up reading about people who can't spell or people who don't care about spelling, but you still want to poke about in a browser, then I may have something for you. Go to http://www.stumbleupon.com . It has a simple, free registration process. Following which you go through a quick tick-box process to choose your interests then you download the Stumbleupon toolbar (No Spyware - guaranteed! Though not by me). What it does is serve up random websites based on your interest profile - sites which have been peer approved. Of course there's some garbage but you get to vote them and others like them away from future 'stumbles'. Sounds pointless? That's what I thought but you genuinely get to see stuff which you'd never ordinarily find and some of it is priceless. Give it a go - you'll hate me for it because hours disappear.... Be prepared to fill your Favourites/Bookmarks.

I actually stumbled upon it by accident a while ago, and you are right, it's it's a bit more-ish. Not quite sure how it fits into the Community section Herb, unless you are failing to divulge something?

I did it on the back of the earlier Google Earth post which made itself topical by talking about Hertford pictures. My own (obviously feeble) attempt to make it of community interest was hidden in the 'You can't spell / I don't care if I can't spell - let's call the whole thing off..." comment. OK - I'll delete it.

Nah, keep it. It's a great site, I am sure Ask-Watson might pop up on there, or even hertford.net.
