I've discovered a new way for us to get the word out about Chess variants.
I recently changed my web browser from Mozilla to Mozilla Firefox, and I
added various extensions to my new browser. One of these is the
StumbleUpon extension, which provides a new way for surfing the web. By
giving information on your interests and by rating web pages with a couple
buttons in the StumbleUpon toolbar, you provide information for StumbleUpon
to intelligently pick other websites you might like. This is based on what
other people with similar interests and preferences have rated positively
in the past. Whenever you click the Stumble! button on the toolbar, it
takes you to a new website. Anyway, this technology can be used by us to
recommend particular pages on Chess variants, perhaps our favorite
variants, to users of StumbleUpon who have indicated an interest in
Chess.

StumbleUpon also provides each of its users with a blog, which is
especially geared toward writing reviews of websites. Besides being able
to read what someone writes by visiting that person's blog, you can use
the toolbar to read reviews that other users have written of the page
you're visiting.

StumbleUpon users also benefit from there being other users with similar
interests. The benefit is that StumbleUpon will become better at finding
sites they would like. So I would benefit from getting others who are
interested in Chess variants to use the service.

The StumbleUpon service is free, and it can be used not only with Firefox
but with Mozilla, Netscape, and Internet Explorer. You can find it here:
