Stumbleupon but for knowledge — this could actually work. You stumble knowledge of particular subjects instead of blog posts and comics. Very interesting. Cool idea, lots of fun I've been generating ideas for 20 minutes now.



I always enjoy 'wikitripping' -

So agree, this sounds like a fun idea!


A side project of mine is sort of a stumbleupon for knowledge. Sort of. It's more like a directed stumbleupon; you get web pages related to the page you're currently on. Good for research, but knowledge-stumbling works too: http://jellly.com


Hey i checked it out, it's a really cool project! Would you mind sharing how you implemented this? I'd really love to know :)

Basically, "I found an interesting article on Wikipedia".
