			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jogstr (previously Diggstr), is a site offering a new and better way to discover websites and browse through Digg content. While Digg remains the most prominent site for social sharing, time and time again users have expressed discontentment over its somewhat messy interface. Jogstr aims to simplify Digg and lets you surf through it like you do at StumbleUpon. Just select your favorite category on the homepage and click on Jogstr to start browsing.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jogstr1.png?570cd5" alt="discover websites" /></p>
<p>The tool takes you from one site to another while showing a toolbar at the top that is similar to Digg&#8217;s native toolbar. The toolbar helps you digg stuff, share to other networks using the share button and updates your Jogstr preferences. You can change the preferences to filter stories by topic, category, media type and popularity.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jogstr2.png?570cd5" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jogstr3.png?570cd5" alt="" /></p>

<ul>
<li>Browse Digg in the StumbleUpon way.</li>
<li>Quickly get started after selecting the category.</li>
<li>Set your preferences to filter content by topic, category, media type and popularity.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unnecessary Knowledge is a website meant for fun and pass your time when you&#8217;re bored on the net. It&#8217;s like a StumbleUpon for information and facts which may or may not be true, but certainly entertaining. You can thumb up or down a fact and it then moves to the next fun fact. You can even add your comments. No registration required. Just start having fun right away.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/unnecessaryknowledge.gif?570cd5" alt="entertaining facts" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4736" /></p>
<p>Here are 2 facts from the collection which may not be true but worth taking a look and having a good laugh at.</p>
<p>&#8221; During the reign of Elizabeth I, there was a tax put on men&#8217;s beards. &#8221;<br />
&#8221; Rhode Island is the only state which the hammer throw is a legal high school sport. &#8221;</p>
<p>And 2 more facts which are actually true.</p>
<p>&#8221; Money is made of woven linen, not paper. &#8221;<br />
&#8221; The muzzle of a lion is like a fingerprint &#8212; no two lions have the same pattern of whiskers. &#8221;</p>
<p>Overall, as I mentioned, a good website to pass your time. In fact it can be addictive too. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?570cd5" alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>StumbleAudio is a <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/stumbleupon/">StumbleUpon</a> for indie music. A nice and pretty website to listen and discover cool indie music. It is exclusively for indie music and has over 2 million songs (from more than 120.000 artists) in its database. </p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/images/stumble-audio.png?570cd5" alt="indie radio" /></div>
<p>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. </p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/images/stumble-audio-2.png?570cd5" alt=" indie music guide" /></div>
<p>There is good chance that everything you hear here will be new to you. So if you&#8217;re tired of hearing the same songs over and over again then give it a try.</p>
<p>To further tune your radio stations vote on the playing songs using &#8220;˜thumbs up&#8217; or &#8220;˜thumbs down&#8217; options. There is also a &#8220;Stumble&#8221; option which takes you to the next song. There are no limitations on that,  skip as many songs as you want.</p>
<p>Another really great feature is the option to play an artist&#8217;s entire album. Clicking on the arrows on the album cover art will take you to the next song in the album.</p>
<p>Check out StumbleAudio @ <a href="http://www.stumbleaudio.com/">www.stumbleaudio.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>StumbleUpon is a massive community, a platform helping users quickly discover cool websites, photos and videos matching their interests. With around 3 mil. registered members it became most powerful and easiest content recommendation service on the web.</p>
<p><em>
<ul>&#8220;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.&#8221;</ul>
<p></em></p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/su.png?570cd5" alt="shrinkpictures" /></p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<p>To become part of StumbleUpon community you need to install StumbleUpon <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/download.php">browser toolbar</a>  (IE, Firefox). Once up and running you&#8217;re ready to start stumbling. Everytime you press &#8216;Stumble&#8217; on your browser toolbar you&#8217;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&#8217;t like. The more you rate the better recommendations get.</p>
<p><strong>Some other features available from your Toolbar</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Rate stuff (Thumb/Up down), send by email, share with friends, etc.</li>
<li>Update interests for more specific recommendations (Cars, Fashion, Internet, Computers, etc.)</li>
<li>Click Photos: To start Stumbling through user-recommended photos</li>
<li><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/stumblevideo/">StumbleVideo</a>: Stumble through user-recommended videos. (Recommended)</li>
<li>Read reviews for the page you&#8217;re on</li>
</ul>
