I’m on the web…a lot. I work as a web designer, ontheweb.simplybridges.com, (working on a new design for this site, but that’s another story) and so it’s my job to be online.
Granted, while I’m working, I’m not surfing, but after the workday I surf to find articles that can help me get through the work day, be more creative, and enjoy a better quality of life.
One of the sites that I love to use to get me going down a path that hopefully doesn’t turn out to be an informational dead end is stumbleupon.com. From their web site:
StumbleUpon’s mission is to help you discover the best content on the web, by showing you sites tailored to your interests whenever you press the Stumble! button. Among all the fun things you can do on StumbleUpon, sharing sites with your friends is perhaps one of the greatest assets of having our toolbar handy on your browser.
As you set up your account, choose topics of interest for you to stumble through. This has been great in finding web sites with great information that I would have had a tough time finding. Also, if you find an article that you like, it can be easily added to your favorites for future viewing. If it’s the first time the article has been “liked” you get the honors to add it for all to see.
Have fun!
