A Very addictive search engine that finds the best reviewed sites on the web

This is the next best thing to google.

It finds interesting sites geared to your interests. Every time you click on the tool bar button, it takes you to a different random site based on your likes and dislikes.

It's totally free...and i have no financial interest except to share the fun.

I can't stop hitting the button.

FYI Stumbleupon is considered low level Adware.
"StumbleUpon uses information collected on the users interests and surfing habits in order to merge in a small number of paying commercial pages among the pages the users "stumble" upon.
Almost all anti-spyware programs classify StumbleUpon as a low-threat spyware/adware program. In cases such as this it's up to you as the user to weigh benefits against negatives when you decide to use a program or not."
