    StumbleUpon chooses which new Web page to display based on the user’s ratings of previous pages, ratings by his/her friends, and by the ratings of users with similar interests. It is a recommendation system which uses peer and social-networking principles.Users can rate, or choose not to rate, any Web page with a thumbs up or thumbs down, and clicking the Stumble button resembles “channel-surfing” the Web.

    eBay acquired StumbleUpon in May of 2007 for $75,000,000

    Aggregator

    An  aggregatorcommonly known as a feed reader, RSS reader or news reader  is a software program (such as iTunes) which is installed on your computer or a Web application (such as Bloglines) which aggregates or “pulls in” syndicated web content such as news headlines, blogs, and podcasts in a single location for easy viewing.

     The syndicated content an aggregator will retrieve and interpret is usually supplied in the form of RSS or other XML-formatted data, such as RDF/XML or Atom.

    News Sites as aggregators
    Some websites such as Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon and Yahoo Buzz which allow users to rate and submit articles function as a news aggregator site because they contain much user submitted data.

    Social Media Aggregators
    Some web applications such a friendfeed function as a social media aggregator. It allows you to access all of your aocial media sites from on e place.
