Slashdot, TechCrunch ... and now Stumble ?

clipped from www.computerworld.com I certainly didn't stumble upon Stumble. It's the first item listed in Peter Smith's 20 must-have Firefox extensions. I'm installing one per day. Stumble is a service that pulls up Web pages. Users submit pages and tag them according to topics. When I click the Stumble! button added to my toolbar -- more on this momentarily -- a Web page in one of my topic areas is presented. I can give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down, or I can just move along. Stumble claims, in my view correctly, that it "helps you discover great content you probably wouldn't find using a search engine." The likelihood of my trying to find these pages via search or surf is slim. I didn't even know I wanted to see them until they were there in front of me.
