Stumble Time!

Today I'm going going to talk about the magical boredom killing app - Stumbleupon.

If you don't want to kill time with random games or creeping that girl you sat behind in second semester in high school on Facebook, this app will be pretty handy for you.

The first thing you do when you open this app is go through a list of around one hundred possible interests. Art, books, crafts, cats, travel, advertising, bio and sooo on..

Then, you can either click on Start Stumbling or one specific topic.

If you click one topic a random page will open dealing with said topic - an article, video, picture, review or blog.

If you'd like a wider verity of entertainment click Start Stumbling. That will also bring you to articles, videos, pictures and so on, but will be more random, going through all of the interests you chose.

When you're on a page that you like, you can give it a thumbs up so you can get other pages like that. You can also e-mail it to someone, put it on Twitter or Facebook, open it with Safari, send it to Stumbler or bookmark it to "read it later."

If you don't like it, you can mark it as "not for me" or even block the specific website that came up, not just the specific article.

I've spent quite a bit of time on this app, but I don't consider it a waste of time. You're really learning a lot about topics that actually interest you. :D


Download it for sure. It's Free!
