Re: Scam artists, your web browser, and you

There is a firefox extension called 'stumbleupon' its main goal is to
allow you to select an interest and it will take you to a random site
related to that.  Anybody can add sites to the stumbleupon system, but
whats neat is you can write reviews about the sites as well, and you can
vote 'like' or 'dont like' on pages.  Its not really a reputation system
per se, but you can see what other people think about the site if its in
the system.
