I Miss the Old Internet

I've been missing the old internet. A little while ago I tried to find StumbleUpon and discovered it's transformed into more of a social media thing. I took a couple days to recreate what I thought of as the core StumbleUpon functionality - click button, get random site. And I've been trying to aggregate what feel like unique, individual, not well known sites into my index for it.

https://stumblingon.com

It currently gets about ten unique visitors and one or two submissions a day.

I used to love StumbleUpon. I haven't thought about it for years. Thanks so much for making this. Let me know if you need an extra human to moderate submissions or whatever :)

Awesome site!

It would be cool if you made the button linkable, so you can bookmark it and get a random URL each time.

Yeah, or a quick firefox addon like stumble used to have!

Thanks - I have thought about a browser add-on. Making it work based off a link seems like an easy upgrade too. I'll add it on to my to-do list for the site.
