Another edition of "Cool Things on the Web"

Today, I found some particularly cool stuff you gotta see...

Check out http://www.dontclick.it, a study in our propensity to click on things, even when told repeatedly not to

Also, http://www.stumbleupon.com - they make a plugin for Firefox that gives you essentially a smarter "I'm Feeling Lucky" button

Finally, check out my new super-cool Facebook profile. As my sister says, Facebook is the IT place

I may just be a complete idiot, but what does the "Feeling Lucky" button do on Google? I've never pushed it because I never knew what it was for. (I guess I wouldn't do so well on the first link you noted).

Umm... dude, it's "edition." You should get in touch with someone who teaches English.

Carl, the feeling lucky button actually spins the magical wheel of websites google indexes and sends you to a random site. Stumble Upon is like that but more targeted based on your preferences and ratings you give.

Cheers. I hope you're well.
