Love IT. I felt out of the loop for not knowing about this site sooner, but I just checked and can’t find any of my friends on it, either, so I feel better.

StumbleUpon is a way to discover websites based on your own interests and preferences. It puts a little toolbar in your web browser like this:

To find a new site, you just click the StumbleUpon button and see what appears. Then you get to give it a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”. For instance, I checked a few interests, like Capitalism, Christianity, and Geography, and the first site it gave me was biblemap.org–a site I already love, so I was immediately hooked.

I’ve looked at about 100 sites in the last 24 hours (I know, a little sad, but I love it), and only a handful were sites I’d seen before. Here are a few new discoveries, thanks to StumbleUpon:

dontclick.it
An experimental site that encourages the elimination of the mouse-click! Amazingly innovative!

ArtPad
Draw something. Then email it to yourself or a friend.

Daily Lit
Books sent to your email! Chapters are sent daily to your email at whatever time you specify. Many classics offered free.

In other news, a random woman at Linens ‘N Things said she loved my haircut! Woo hoo!
