StumbleUpon for iPad: Like a Magic Carpet Ride for Your Brain

• StumbleUpon for iPad: Like a Magic Carpet Ride for Your Brain

  • 
  • That may very well be, but the new iPad app that popular web exploration network StumbleUpon released this week goes a long way towards compensating for whatever risks to creativity that the device poses. If you've got an iPad, I think it's a must-have app. That's true for everyone, including for kids
  • If you're not familiar with StumbleUpon, here's the gist of how it works: you select categories of topical interest (games, art, cooking, politics), then you click the Stumble button. A seemingly random web page, photo or video is served up underneath the StumbleUpon toolbar. You can give that page a thumbs up, down or just click the Stumble button again. The service then serves up another page that people who have expressed the same interest in your previously viewed content have said that they like - it learns from you in order to make recommendations.
  • Then you click, click, click the Stumble button while zipping around the web
