StumbleUpon Smiles Upon IE Users
If you don't use Firefox, then you probably haven't seen StumbleUpon, a toolbar that "helps you discover great websites." That's because it was only available for Firefox - until now. StumbleUpon has begun offering a version compatible with Internet Explorer.
The official site does a good job of describing the process. "As you click Stumble!, you'll get high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended (rated I like it) by friends and other SU members with similar interests. Rating these sites shares them with your friends and peers - you will automatically ‘stumble upon' each others favorites sites."
StumbleUpon is extremely popular within the relatively small group that is aware of it. In a TechCrunch article about the new version, readers' comments display a strong affection. "I have been a user for a while….very addictive," said "Eric Willis."
"Harry" felt this development was long overdue. "About time if you ask me, you just can't shove the dominant browser aside if you are serious about grabbing more people's attention! On the otherhand, Stumble is awesome!"
In the StumbleUpon testimonials section, the praise becomes even more extravagant. "I personally view Stumbleupon as one of the single greatest web developments I've seen since I've been online," said "Cloudhopper. "And that was around about the time someone came out with a staggering new thing called ‘a browser.'"
I'm not sure that StumbleUpon's availability to Internet Explorer users (or even Stumbleupon itself) can be billed as "revolutionary," but this development is sure to make a lot of people happy.
