Thanks to “StumbleUpon” to be a discover and advertisement engine that pushes recommends of web content to its users. It’s the easiest way to discover new and interesting web pages, photos and videos across the Web.
After helping the 40 million users to conceive billions of pages with exciting & fascinating stuffs from across the web over since the first noughties, StumbleUpon is shuttering its content curation and discovery platform nowdays.

It additionally happened to make a time once individuals were graduating from using the internet for essential functions like analysis and financial transactions, to killing time and sharing things with friends.

But that was then, and this is often, when ‘random’ isn’t good enough, and even our ‘serendipitous’ content discoveries are closely connected to our interests, due to cookies that follow us around, platforms that task us with tagging all the things online, and clever algorithms that learn what we’re into. Garrett Camp, the founding father of StumbleUpon, desires fans to transition over to his different project, Mix, that he began building back in Oct 2015, as one thing like Pinterest for content.
It works well enough when you tell the location what you prefer, however when defrayal many minutes on there, I will tell you that it doesn’t quite recreate the magic of the SU button.
Farewell, StumbleUpon, and thanks for the hundreds of hours of discovery, and entertainment that was simply a click away.
