Guess I'm not all that interested in knowing about all the things that have ever happened that day in the world. It wouldn't be all that useful as a reference tool. It's more like a popularity contest. Remember how successful the prom queens are in real life?

Computers drive me crazy, sometimes! And to think! I used to do computers for a living. Mind boggles - but not like the game. Take StumbleUpon, for instance...
The idea of being able to narrow down browser results based on my interests is something I'd like to try.
I added the StumblUpon button to my browser, set up an acct, and saved my preferences. But it doesn't present the items in the subject categories that I chose.
