A website that I have found very important in my procrastination is StumbleUpon, it is a website that has you pick things that are interesting to you and then generates random websites that match up with the things that are of interest to you. I really enjoy this website; I have been able to fnd a lot of cool things while procrastinating my homework and writing papers. I have found some pretty cool games while stumbling, along with really good quotes and things that I could also blog about. There is a Thumbs Up bottom that you can click on if you like the page that you are on. It is true, I think, that the traffic that comes from most social media sites is basically all or nothing. The popular pages may receive thousands of visitors. There’s really no middle ground in the number of visitors that a page receives. Even if only a few people give the page a thumbs up and maybe a review or something, it will cause a significant amount of traffic for that page.
I think that StumbleUpon is a great site for networking, it builds on social media sites. It is easy to add friends and keep them, join and be active in groups and even send email to other people directly from StumbleUpon. Even though i don't used the StumbleUpon message system to communicate with people I am friends with, I hear that it is a good way to keep in touch with the friends that you make on StumbleUpon. The networking that I’ve been able to do on StumbleUpon has been very valuable, it has helped me meet some very interesting people and understand what they are trying to do with themselves. StumbleUpon is a close second behind Facebook for networking, but that is more because I am in college and the majority of the people I know and try to keep in touch with are on there.
