This is the end of productivity as we know it

Sometimes, a web application so compelling comes along and sweeps us off our feet whilst engulfing us in throes of happiness. In this case, my productivity was totally sucked into it. StumbleUpon is a network of people and pages. It is a free tool which helps you browse, review and share webpages while meeting new people.

It installs as a Firefox Extension, which means it’s a totally brainless/painless installation. After that a new toolbar appears in Firefox. When you click on the button Stumble! for the first time, it asks you to choose your interests and asks you to create an account.

When you click on Stumble! again, a random website loads. You can then proceed to give it the thumbs up or down. Here’s where my problem begins. I simply cannot stop clicking on Stumble! When I do that, I have to rate the site. After I rate the site, I have to read other people’s reviews on that site.

I have a new addiction. Oh. No.

this like that defaunt singapore invention called Third Voice.

No lah, this one has social bookmarking.

the second coming of Third Voice.

Only this time no silly IPO with no clear revenue streams.

oops, now I am also a victim ! but it comes up with a lot of interesting sites.

I’m hungry.

Are you paid to do this plug?

I wish.
