Stumble Buildproof Buddies!
Having just downloaded the new FireFox 3.0 browser and LOVING it, I ‘stumbled upon’ one of Mozilla’s add-on applications for the FireFox browser. Oddly enough it’s called ‘StumbleUpon’ which is an accurate representation of what it is; a tool to discovering your internet. Upon downloading the toolbar, you visit a page where you can define your interests i.e. travel, food, humor, politics, computers, etc. Once you’ve registered, simply click the ‘Stumble!’ button in your toolbar and you will be directed to a random webpage based on your pre-specified interests. These aren’t your run of the mill websites either! So far I’ve ‘Stumbled Upon’:
-a giant image of what the earth looks like at night
-a site that shows you (in real time) what hundreds of satellites are seeing right now as they orbit the earth
-a list of the 20 most ridiculous photoshop errors in advertising
-an aerial picture of the Pyramids of Giza
-a step by step guide to eating a pomegranate
-the website for an underwater hotel in China
-a photo gallery of the World Beard and Mustache Championships
So what can you do? Click the link below to add Buildproof Buddies to the Stumble application. The more clicks we get, the more likely the Buddies page will appear as someone is ‘Stumbling’ through the internet!
Our goal is always to maximize the exposure we can get to raise awareness for the thousands of animals in shelters across the country. Raising awareness via Buildproof Buddies and applications like ‘Stumble’ will hopefully bring us closer to reducing and one day eliminating ‘healthy kills’ in shelters.
