Since January 2004 I’ve been an on/off fairly neutral fan of the site StumbleUpon and just saw that they’re expanding (experimenting?) with video.stumbleupon.com. Videos already were part of stumbleupon, usually with links and other contextual elements, so it’s doubtful I’ll be doing much random video stumbling. Also the time involved in watching videos versus quickly going through many site-based stumbles is too great.

You can narrow down the types of video stumbles in the following video categories: video games, sci/tech, photography, arts, animation, animals, bizarre, cars, cats, computers and more.

Do you want to randomly move through videos — even in a topic of interest — without any accompanying text or site URLs visible? The video by itself is not the complete content picture. Yeah, we click on the videos and launch to the video hosting site, but this kind of video channel surfing seems to be missing an important component and thus a little too random.

What do you think?

Did this post make you go hmm?
