This, in my opinion, is the single best internet application ever created.
Ever.
http://www.stumbleupon.com/
I didn't see any threads devoted to this beautiful service when searching, so I figured I would make this one to inform the poor souls who don't yet know of it.
StumbleUpon is basically a toolbar which has a bunch of buttons on it. The three most important ones, as far as I'm concerned, say "stumble!", "", and "".
When you click "stumble!", you are brought to a website that the service thinks will interest you - and it usually does. The quality of the links is simply astounding. If you like the sort of thing it shows you, you can thumb-up it, and the service will take this into account for further stumbles. If you thumb-down it, the service will try not to show you similar sites in the future.
The sort of sites you stumble upon is decided by which interests you've noted on your account. This is done by selecting keywords, like 'photography', so that you will see sites other users have thumbed up and labeled as 'photography' websites. You can also friend other users and see websites that they specifically have thumb-upped.
I've seen literally thousands of websites like this, because every time I'm bored... I just stumble! If you get this app, you will never again be bored - that's a promise.
Enjoy!
*Edit* By the way, SU has fairly recently created a standalone service called Stumble Video, where you can see videos that might interest you all from the same page: http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=i0fet794iu
This is particularly great because it is wii-accessible and requires no navigation or page loads other than clicking the stumble button.
