How to find new websites that interest you

So if your like me and you love finding new websites but don't know where to start, try StumbleUpon. It's like the Pandora of websites. During my first visit (which ended up being about an hour and a half) I played the piano, got inspired, and learned some really great recipes using ingredients that I have in my refrigerator right now.

This is one of many websites that are using the "Pandora algorithm" to filter out what you don't like and keep what you do like. It's a more precise way of the "if you bought this, then you will love this" like we see on Amazon all time. Bottlenotes is an example of a website that uses an algorithm to determine what kind of wine you like.

Another way you can find new websites is to join Twitter is you haven't already and follow people who interest you. This could be anyone from authors to celebrities and athletes. Most people in the public eye tend to post links to sites that interest them.
