Last night I was finally able to log into StumbleUpon! Turned out it was the security settings on my laptop preventing access to the website. I'm definitely happy now that I was not able to get into this website while working on my class work - it is as addictive as Pinterest. I really like how you can select from pre-specified topics, but also incorporate your own personal topics of interest. Although my relationship with StumbleUpon is only 24 hours old, it appears that the sites you "stumble" into are a lot more expansive than the sites you "pin" on Pinterest.
StumbleUpon brings you to some very unique places. I'm not that familiar with this site yet, so my impressions may be incorrect, but it seems that although you select your own topics of interest and "surf through" various sites by selecting the "stumble" button, you do not save your favorites on your own personal boards. I have pinned some favorites to Pinterest and scooped others onto Scoop-it in order to save them.
That's it for now - I'm off to investigate StumbleUpon a little more...will probably still be sitting here at midnight again telling myself this is the last one...
