StumbleUpon isn't a website, per se – it's really a whole new way of looking at the web, with more than 4 million helpful guides to lead you to the best stuff around. To use StumbleUpon, you'll first want to download the toolbar application for easy navigation around the Internet. Then, fill in their form with your interests, which could include anything from coffee to Shakespeare to anti-aging – whatever floats your boat.
Next comes the coolest part: finding yourself some friends. This isn't like MySpace, where you'll feel compelled to track down that creepy nose-picking kid from your third grade class, just to have another name on your friends list. Though you can add your actual friends if you like, most of the "friends" you'll meet here are simply people who like the same stuff you like, and have discovered great content around the web that they'd like to share with you.
