As regular readers might have noticed, there have been several changes during past few weeks on this site. For some time I have been thinking of providing a list of recommendable stamp collecting websites – blogs, forums, studies etc. But… I also know that nobody likes to read / browse long list of textual links. Luckily I have come up with a solution that is answer to my prayers. Let me introduce you StampCollector’s StumbleUpon

I don’t know if You (dear reader) are familiar with StumbleUpon, but here’s a short overview. StumbleUpon is an Internet community that allows its users to discover and rate interesting Web pages, photos, and videos. Above all, it’s free, open-to-all, very easy to use and social.

StampCollector's StumbeUpon is a collection of recommendable philatelic websites. Click the image to see latest additions.

Free means that anyone can join in – all you need is a valid email account. Everything (meaning Gmail, hotmail,yahoo etc) goes.

Open-to-all means that registration is not required. For example you can browse my recommendations without registration. But if you want to make your own link list, or make additions or comments to those I have recommended, then you need to register.

Easy-to-use…. I think that if “play around” with the links I have provided, you understand what I mean. All you need to this is click interesting website picture (or Stumble-button) and you are on your way to finding new sites of a particular topic.

Social means that you have the possibility to give thumbs up or thumbs down for any of the links I (and other users)  have recommended. You can also write reviews, get in touch with me and other collectors etc. So basically it’s a mini world of it’s own.

So move your mouse and visit StampCollector’s StumbleUpon. Please, also tell me what you like.

PS. If I’m missing that valuable link you know, just drop me a comment or a message, and I’ll see if it passess my “very strict” listing criterias.  I have knowingly left purely commercial sites (shops, dealers etc) outside my links page, so please don’t bother with them.
