10 StumbleUpon!
I have used StumbleUpon as a FireFox plug-in for a
number of years to find web sites that I can report on here.
For some reason, they have never produced a similar plug-in
for Safari. They do have a web site that acts similar to the
plug-in, but it still isn't the same. Now they have an iOS
app that will work with both the iPad and the iPhone.
