Stumbleupon App Available for iPhone

"StumpleUpon - the ultimate discovery engine that finds the best of the web, customized to your preferences randomly + recommendations from millions of other users who share similar interests."
I've always been a fan of the Stumbleupon plugin for Firefox, and I'm glad to see Stumbleupon available for the iPhone. If you've never used it, think of it like a remote control for the internet, where you can pick the topics you like and then stumble onto random sites in those categories. It's like channel surfing for the web. It's a great way to kill time in line or while waiting for an appointment. I downloaded the app as soon as I found out it was available, and played with it for a while. I only intended to be using it for a few minutes, and found myself still peering at the screen an hour later. You need a Stumbleupon account to use the app, but the accounts are free and so is the app. If you don't have an account, you can set it one up using the app.
