Or when you have to surf countless webpages in search of topics or pieces of information that interests you.

What if there’s a website where you are shown only the information that you want to see?

That sounds cool, right?

What is StumbleUpon and how you can Submit on StumbleUpon?

StumbleUpon is a website that was designed sometime in 2002 to give room for its users to submit useful website links for other users to stumble upon and also share.  It is the hub of website exploration on various areas of interest.

Be it politics, comedy, art and craft, photography, all forms of sports, business weather reports, inventions, science and technology and on and on goes the list.
