StumbleUpon is what leeches all of the time that i should spend on everything. It's kind of a cross between a blog, a social networking site, but these are both uses that are dwarfed by the main point of stumbleupon's existance.
Simply put, it is a browser toolbar that allows users to discover new wesites based on a set of interests that the user selects upon signing up. The user can "thumbs up" a page to add it to your personal blog of pages that you like, and your stumbles get more personally tailored. You can also "thumbs down".
If you thumbs up a page that no one else has, a window pops up, and you classify what genre the page is of, and stumblers that have selected that interest get to stumble upon the site you added to the database.
It relates to any audience, as there are so so many interests that are up for choosing. It seemingly exists solely to waste time, although it offers the ability to find new things in the internet with relative ease.
Like channel surfing for the internet.
INTERACTIVITY
It allows people to add any website to the datable of pages to stumble upon, and has a blog feature.
IMMEDIACY
As it is on your browser window, just one click and you are taken to a website relevant to your interests.
PERSONALISATION
This has so much personalisation. Each individual member has a blog of pages that they thumbs up, which is personalisable by colour. You can add pages you like, you can choose your topics.
TIMESHIFT
You can press the button any time.
QUALITY
Not necessarily higher quality, but you always get something interesting to your taste as you choose your tastes.
DIVERSIFICATION
allows users to find new things within their interest.
HORIZONTAL NETWORK
Other people thumbs up pages which you stumble upon, so they provide for others with no personal gain.
