Everyday thousands of sites are submitted to this service. We highly recommend StumbleUpon for finding new information on the web. However, If you're looking for more specific results, here are three other "stumbling" sites to help you find what you're looking for on the web.

]]> BuddyStumbler

With social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace, and Bebo, we find it a little confusing as to why you wouldn't just use their search engines to find a random friend or two. Nevertheless, BuddyStumbler aims to fill that space and help you stumble upon new friends. You can search for new people by interests, usernames, or "buddies of". Type in your keywords, sex, age, and zip code and BuddyStumbler will do the rest. Results will link to the user's BuddyStumbler profile and any of their instant messaging handles or social networks such as Flickr. All in all, you're guaranteed to find a new friend or two via BuddyStumbler.

Ticket Stumbler

Ticket Stumbler could turn out to be a time and money saver for some. Essentially, Ticket Stumbler aims to help you compare, find, and purchase tickets for sporting events. From regular tickets to season packages, you can find tickets for the following sporting events:

  • NFL
  • NCAA Football
  • MLB
  • NLH
  • NBA

You can search for a ticket by team, venue, event, or location. The initial search results will contain the name of the event, the venue, date and time, and the lowest and priciest tickets available. Selecting an event and Ticket Stumbler will present you with a variety of ways to find a ticket at a price that you like. You can specify a maximum price, the number of tickets you'd like to purchase, your preferred ticket provider, and whether or not you'd like a parking/tailgate ticket to be included. We doubt you'll have a hard time stumbling upon the right ticket at the right price with Ticket Stumbler.

StumbleAudio

StumbleAudio is one of the ultimate music discovery services with over 2 million tracks availble to stumble through. Check out their charts for the most liked and disliked albums. See what other users are listening to the most or the most stumbled genres. StumbleAudio makes a great addition to other services such as Last.FM, Pandora, and iLike for music discovery.

Most of the Web at Your Fingertips

While none of these sites could replace StumbleUpon, they fill different niches that StumbleUpon may not be the best service for. We recommend them all for discovering the best and most interesting sections of the web. Let us know what else you're using to "stumble" through great sections of the web.
