What did I just stumble upon?

7 million users!

Bigger than Twitter and making money too, all with zero promotion! Purchased by Ebay in May 2007 (top of the market to you!), Stumble delivers traffic and advertisers apparently are paying.

Using algorithms and a learning ability, Stumble makes sure you will never be bored at work again.

It's a fun, playful, chaotic way to navigate around the web.


So I played around a bit and found a mattress gun rack. Then I clicked on a Wiki article called "List of company name etymologies." Did you know that "akamai" is Hawaiian for smart or clever? Me neither, and who knows if it's true, as I don't trust anything on Wiki. Also MBNA stood for Maryland Bank, NA. Allegedly. This site is addictive. I also learned how to knit a smitten. And watched an Italian video of idiotic driving. Overall I'm very impressed with the web site since Internet browsing for entertainment purposes can often be so directionless!
