Stumble Upon StumbleUpon.com

While doing some poking around the traffic stats here I stumbled upon a domain I had not heard of but sounded interesting. It was StumbleUpon.com so I went over to check out what the site is.
What StumbleUpon is, is an interesting new way of "stumbling upon" new sites. Once you register for free you can download a tool bar for Internet Explorer (they also have a FireFox extension available). Using the tool bar you give sites "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" ratings which the system uses to match up sites from people who has the same ratings of sites.
You can view a demo at the site. Check out screen shots after the jump.
These are selected parts of a few of the screen shots available from the screen shots page at StumbleUpon.com so go there to check out even more shots. You can also click these previews to see the full shots.
