If you’re not already using it, Stumbleupon.com is a great way to learn about industry related items, see great works of art and be exposed to new things. All you do is set your parameters of what you like, and start “stumbling”. Hit the button and it brings you to a random website withing the tags that you’ve set. Like a webpage?…. hit the like button and send it to your favorites, saved for you on your profile at stumbleupon.com. It then uses what you like and dislike to generate more related sites. It’s the best way to find those hidden gems on the internet.
