Anybody use Stumbleupon? http://www.stumbleupon.com/

If you've not come across it before, it's (yet) another toolbar installed into your browser (IE or Firefox). During installation, you tell it what you're interests are. When you're bored, you can click the little Stumble! button, and it serves up a website recommended by other Stumblers. There's some great sites that have passed in front of my eyes in the past six months or so. This was one of tonight's classics: http://www.heptune.com/farts.html

Yeah, I used that years ago. Found it caused a whole load of spyware to download on to my PC. It's fun but make sure you run Ad-Aware or something similar on a regular basis!

Maybe it's changed. They guarantee no spyware. I've been using it for around 6 months or so, both on IE and Firefox without any problems. Some of the sites might be nasty, though. Norton spotted an attack from a site I'd Stumbled upon.
