Since 2001, procrastination levels have peaked at record highs since the creation and development of Stumbleupon (Note: I have no real facts, it's more of an analysis of one person, myself).It's a simple but brilliant idea that allows you to reach the broadest horizons of information on the internet while simultaneously finding pages entitled "100 amazing facts you never knew".
Stumbleupon is essentially a search engine yet unlike Bing or Google, it's completely personalised. That is, once you create an account with them, you select topics that are personal tastes and interests, when this is completed, Stumbleupon will randomly search anything to do with these personal interests.
It's so effectively simple that it is genius.
For example, if you like "photography", "arts", "music" and "news", you just select all of these interests out of the numerous boxes you can choose from, save it and it will henceforth recognise this. All you have to afterwards is go on your account and click the big "stumble upon" button and you're off into the wonderful world that is the internet.
It's something that I highly recommend using either out of boredom or just to add to your insatiable quest for general knowledge. When writing these blog posts, have of them have resulted from something that I've discovered on Stumbleupon. If you've ever found one of my blog posts even slightly interesting, it's thanks to Stumbleupon.
However, one piece of warning, it can get highly addictive so if you find yourself reading about Mongolian Priests at 4 am don't blame me.
