Little Cozy Corner

Well, not literally la!

Thanks to Pelf for ’stumbling’ my customer service post some time ago and introduced me to this whole StumbleUpon business, I think I’m slowly getting addicted to it. [I still have to figure out how to 'stumble' other people's articles/blog/site just as she did mine though....] It’s the same sort of feeling I had when I first joined Facebook [FB] - I got instantly hooked!! But sad to all those pokes and continuous invites to bite people and turn them into Vampires has really taken a toll on moi. lol Not only biting people, there is a whole load of things you can do to each other from throwing sheep at one another to ‘buying’ drinks or naughty toys for your friends too. It’s really very much like Friendster but a whole lot more fun. The one good thing about FB is that it restricts you from viewing the profile of people who are not in your network unlike Friendster, which unless you restrict your account, everyone and anyone can view your profile.

Because of that and the fact that it takes forever for my PC to load those applications, you hardly see me in FB doing things to you. I know, I should make full use of my trusty, dusty sampan paddle more often since it’s been sitting in my closet for eons now, but with a baby on my lap while I try to check my email…worrying about who poked me and accepting invites to do naughty things to each other is the least of my worries. I can’t even find the time to blog in peace these days!! lol Despite losing the fizzle to blog furiously like I used to, I still make it an effort to keep my blog breathing, at least just enough so that my keyboard doesn’t get rusty.

I seem to have diverted from the original idea of this post! Haiyoo…anyway, I just wanted to say that StumbleUpon is my new toy for now. Being totally new to this, I’m really having fun stumbling upon sites that share my interest. This new interest will definitely keep me more busy but at the same time, blogging and emails will not be the only reason I have to be online. From my understanding, since I am a newbie to StumbleUpon, it’s simply a system where you are randomly given website or posts in topics that interest you. That really makes reading stuff that you like online easier since you’re being fed it, literally. And if you like what you’re reading, then you StumbleUpon it. I’m assuming that the more you stumble it - that is you click on the ‘I like!’ button, the more it gets around hence, more traffic comes your way, I think. What a great way to work karma, eh? But I am still learning about how it works so if I’ve given some wrong info or I screw something up - 1000 apologies!

So, if you also have a StumbleUpon account or am thinking about setting one up, please feel free to add me to your network - would love to check out what you’ve been checking out. O, by the way, you will need to install their toolbar though but not to worry, it’s really hassle free. Well, I’m off to stumble - I can’t seem to get enough of it!!
