This is COOL. If you are a pedantic sort, like me, who likes learning about random stuff of interest while surfing the net.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/

No more visiting the same old sites over and over... Select which subjects interest you (there are tons, something for everyone!), add some "friends" who share the same interests and "stumble"... SHAZAM! There you go, fabulous new sites at your finger tips. Like it? 'thumbs up' to get more sites like it. Don't like it? 'thumbs down' and never have to face it again. Make comments when you wish to... post to your very own blog... join some groups and post at the forums... While the sense of community is very strong, be as active or non-active a member as best suits your comfort level. I've been stumbling since November 2003 and couldn't be happier with it.

This website works on an interesting principle. It brings together images, ideas and viewpoints from many varied sources; its intention: to create insights into various aspects of science & culture.

From the opening page you are given four main options - Read, See, Debate & Create.

The idea is that you pick a subject that interests you, and then follow a series of links and connections to see how the various aspects of science and culture interweave with each other.

Read all about subjects as diverse as identity, health and conflict, and then click through to see images and read the debates that are taking place on the subjects. If you feel like registering you can add your own thoughts to the mix.

There is nothing untoward in the privacy policy, and once registered you can take advantage of the Create section, which allows you to save articles and images to make your own personalised collections.

Brilliant!
