7/4/2007: Stephen Assigns "Digg This!" To Nathan

Today you must sign up on Digg.com and starting digging some stories.
Requirements: Being a good net citizen, I like to show people places where they can get the full experience of the internet. This is very much like Brad's StumbleUpon task, however you will be looking at a slightly different website. First of all, you must go to digg.com and sign up for an account. Then you must visit the following two pages:
Most Popular News Stories In The Last Week
Most Popular Videos In The Last Week
Look thoroughly through those stories and use your account to "digg" at least 10 of them and then link to your favorite ten stories or videos in your post.

6/6/2007: Stephen Assigns "Stumble Upon Gasm" To Brad

Your task is to download the Stumbleupon toolbar and stumble upon and positively rate 50 sites. You must then post the top 10 sites that you found via SU.
I just found out today that I made the "Top Stumblers" page of Stumbleupon.com, one of the best websites ever conceived. Essentially, you download a toolbar to your web browser and you click a button and are sent to a random webpage within one of your specified areas of interest. Then you rate whether or not you liked that page and repeat. Your task is to go to Stumbleupon.com, download the toolbar, and sign up for an account. During the registration process you will be asked to check areas of interest. Be VERY liberal with this. Some areas that seem uninteresting are the most interesting ones. Once you begin to clicking the stumble button, you must rate the sites that you visit a thumbs up or thumbs down. Give it a thumbs up if you want to see more sites similar to that site and vice versa. If you go to your profile, you will see it lists your total pages liked. This is the number that you need to get to 50. Once it is there, your stumbling is done, unless of course you want to do more, feel free, that is kind of the point. Anyways, once you've "liked" 50 pages, choose the top 10 of those. In your rutless post, post the top ten links you stumbled upon and a little blurb about each and why you liked it. You must also post a link to your Stumbleupon profile.
