StumbleUpon

I came across an interesting site “StumbleUpon” today and thought of sharing with you. StumbleUpon is a social media platform that allows users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using social networking data. It seems like it uses collaborative filtering to create virtual communities of like-minded Web surfers. Rating Web sites updates a personal profile and generates peer networks of Web surfers linked by common interest. These social networks coordinate the distribution of Web content, so that users "stumble upon" pages explicitly recommended by friends and peers. Giving a site a thumbs up results in the site being placed under the user's "favorites".
