Here are 2 facts from the collection which may not be true but worth taking a look and having a good laugh at.

” During the reign of Elizabeth I, there was a tax put on men’s beards. ”
” Rhode Island is the only state which the hammer throw is a legal high school sport. ”

And 2 more facts which are actually true.

” Money is made of woven linen, not paper. ”
” The muzzle of a lion is like a fingerprint — no two lions have the same pattern of whiskers. ”

Overall, as I mentioned, a good website to pass your time. In fact it can be addictive too.

The ideas behind StumbleAudio is to help listeners find the indie music they are likely to enjoy. Listeners are first asked to name one of their favorite artists or bands. Then it creates a new indie radio station comprising of similar indie artists.

There is good chance that everything you hear here will be new to you. So if you’re tired of hearing the same songs over and over again then give it a try.

To further tune your radio stations vote on the playing songs using ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ options. There is also a “Stumble” option which takes you to the next song. There are no limitations on that, skip as many songs as you want.

Another really great feature is the option to play an artist’s entire album. Clicking on the arrows on the album cover art will take you to the next song in the album.

“Channel surf the internet with the StumbleUpon toolbar to find great websites, videos, photos and more based on your interests. StumbleUpon learns what you like and makes better recommendations.”

How it works:

To become part of StumbleUpon community you need to install StumbleUpon browser toolbar (IE, Firefox). Once up and running you’re ready to start stumbling. Everytime you press ‘Stumble’ on your browser toolbar you’ll be taken to some website which was recommended by other stumblers with similar interests. By optionally rating these websites you can automatically share them (only ones you like) with like-minded people and at the same time train StumbleUpon about what you do and don’t like. The more you rate the better recommendations get.

Some other features available from your Toolbar

• Rate stuff (Thumb/Up down), send by email, share with friends, etc.
• Update interests for more specific recommendations (Cars, Fashion, Internet, Computers, etc.)
• Click Photos: To start Stumbling through user-recommended photos
