Find StumbleUpon's top stumblers with StumbleRank

by Brad Linder Nov 1st 2007

Social bookmarking/web discovery site StumbleUpon maintains a list of user statistics. It just doesn't make that list available to the public. So if you want to see who the most active or popular stumblers are, StumbleUpon won't tell you.

That's where StumbleRank comes in. The unofficial page comes from blogger Muhammad Saleem of ProNet Advertising. The site shows the StumbleUpon users who have submitted the most pages, photos, videos and reviews, as well as the stumblers with the largest number of "fans."

Because the list doesn't come from StumbleUpon, don't expect an accurate list of all the actual top stumblers. You only get added to the list if someone submits your username. The site then checks your StumbleUpon profile and updates the list. As time goes by, we suspect more and more names will get added making StumbleRank a fairly reliable measure of StumbleUpon popularity.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
