Every stumble session, you always learn and see something new. One of the best things that happened to the internet. DIGG does compare because it is a hassle to dig something.

I started building something to do this 2 years ago, and it is done now. Check out: http://www.iprecis.com to see it. Basically you can limit your search to sites you find useful, however one thing I really like about it is that ranking (via google) uses page rank from the entire web. So you get the best of both worlds, only the sites you trust and page rank over the whole web to sort your trusted sites. The concept of a personalized crawler is interesting.

First, its easy to monetize by selling stumbles. There's worse ways of spending an ad budget than directing tens of thousands of willing visitors to your site, and getting hundreds of thousands more if you provide good content. Second, SU contains a wealth of useful information about what you like and dislike. Ebay, with its skype acquisition, has shown that it believes there's value in providing the infrastructure of communication. And the broader the net you cast, the more information you can gather, and the more you can sell your ad spots for. What does Ebay get out of stumble? First, its easy to monetize by selling stumbles.
