@mrpalmer16 one of my favorite things back in the day was the old-school "StumbleUpon" which was like webrings on crack.

Unfortunately, advertising and profit-seeking happened.

@bobdobberson @mrpalmer16 omg YES stumbleupon was incredible! I've asked around if people remember this and it seems that not a ton of people were on there.
