I use StumbleUpon a lot lately and I have to tell you, if you aren’t using it for researching what’s going on in your market, you are missing out big time.
StumbleUpon is a tool bar that watches the kinds of sites you surf and then allows you to “stumble upon” sites like it.
It is WAY better than a search engine because the sites you find are not just any sites related to the kinds of sites you frequent; they are the best of the best sites you can find on the web in your interest area.
This is because they are ranked by votes of StumbleUpon users, so the very good stuff bubbles to the top.
Here is one I found that I would never have found until it got super big: Tubes.
It is a file sharing site like no other I have seen. It is peer-to-peer desktop sharing and you can make a “tube” for friends, associates, colleagues, employees, whomever.
Drop a video into a tube and everyone you invited to it gets it on their desktop with no fuss, no FTP, no restrictions on file size, and no emailing!
I find stuff like this all the time and it helps with business ideas, reasearch, and keeping up on my niches.
Check out StumbleUpon.com today. It is also a great traffic-driving tool for your sites!
