StumbleUpon is a powerful tool which allows you to surf the Internet for great websites. It serves you random websites in categories of your choice. It personalizes recommendations according to your interests and allows you to rate, review and share any page. Recently they have integrated pictures and video to their repository too. It is usable in the form of a toolbar available for both Firefox and IE.

Recently a new version (3.0)  of the toolbar came out with some nice features.

I use this tool to discover great sites.

Here is a snapshot of the toolbar from my machine:

The list of changes they made in going to 3.0:

• Avatars on the ‘Send to’ menu and on shared notes.
• Drag-and-drop toolbar placement.
• Configurable channel buttons.
• Channel indicator on the stumble button.
• New icon set.
• Toggle button configuration via the options dialog.
• Several search / tag configurations to cater to power users.
• Compatibility with the IE Tab extension.
• Fix for a bug where buttons are spaced too far apart on OSX.
• Probable workaround for the issue where the toolbar cannot connect at the beginning of a browser session, causing a spurious ’server is down’ message.
• Fix for a bug where rating a page thumb-down when the page is new to StumbleUpon was displaying a generic error message. New behavior is to display an explanatory dialog.
• Final phase of migration to hashed passwords for users who upgraded from versions older than 2.85.
