Videos on the Wii, care of StumbleUpon


StumbleUpon is a great way of discovering new sites that are out there on the web. I don't use it as often as I should, unfortunately, but I can see that changing with the recent innovations coming out of their fine web establishment. Basically how StumbleUpon works is that visitors to a site rank it by giving the content a thumbs up or down. When you stumble, you will only see pages that your friends or like minded stumblers have recommended, thus connecting you to content that you might never have come across. Now StumbleUpon brings this to their new video product that hooks up owners of Nintendo Wii's to videos that they can watch on their gaming devices. The new stumble.tv has been specially re-designed and set to launch with Wii's Opera browser in mind, making it easy for users to navigate through the video search, channel menus, and the ability to rate and recommend videos on their consoles.

In other StumbleUpon video news, there is a rumor that Stumble Video could be unleashed on other mobile devices in the near future. Look out for WiiAim as well, a way to chat to your AIM buddy list on your console.

StumbleVideo: Cool video aggregator from StumbleUpon

StumbleVideo
StumbleUpon is one of the old dogs of the social bookmarking biz, but apparently it can be taught a new trick or two. StumbleVideo is a new section of the site clearly aimed at people who are bored and want something neat to watch. And it works pretty well. It aggregates bookmarked videos from the usual suspects--YouTube, Google Video, etc.--and shuffles them for you, so you can watch one video after another and up- or down-vote them through your StumbleUpon account. The videos are organized into channels (including some very specific ones like "Cats" and "Guitar") and you can see what users have voted on each video or share them with your friends. It will also display a history of the videos you watched, as well as which ones you've voted on if you're signed in.

While StumbleUpon isn't the first site to try the "TV in your browser" paradigm, its is a pretty polished and well-organized attempted, and if you're an existing StumbleUpon user (or have been thinking of getting an account), you'll appreciate the integration and social features.
