Today the social bookmarking and random browsing leader released a new feature dubbed [StumbleThru][1], which allows for site specific "stumbling," letting users to randomly browse Flickr, MySpace, YouTube and other popular sites. - -Given yesterday's announcement from Google, who is now offering similar accidental search capabilities, StumbleUpon is likely looking to steal a bit of Google's thunder. And StumbleThru will probably do just that. The new domain-specific options give users another reason to stick with the original stumbling service. - -So far StumbleUpon has not made any major announcement regarding the new service, however, the release notes for the latest version of the StumbleUpon toolbar tout the new features. - -To get started with StumbleThru you'll need to have the StumbleUpon toolbar installed and login to your account. - -From there head to the StumbleThru page and select a domain to begin stumbling in. Clicking any of the featured domains will add the site icon next to the "Stumble!" button on the toolbar. - -In my brief testing the new features worked without any glitches and I expect this will be popular with users, especially the Flickr and Wikipedia options since both of those sites lend themselves to random, accidental discoveries. - -In fact, browsing through Flickr via StumbleUpon is better than most of the navigation tools that Flickr offers. - - -[via [Mashable][4]] - -[1]: http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumblethru.php "StumbleThru" -[2]: http://blog.wired.com/business/2007/04/stumbleupon_mee.html "StumbleUpon Meets Its Maker?" -[3]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/04/google_introduc.html "Google Introduces StumbleUpon-Style Search Options" -[4]: http://mashable.com/2007/04/19/stumblethru/ "Breaking: StumbleUpon Launches StumbleThru - Stumble on Flickr, MySpace, YouTube" - |
