It seems like a fairytale when the internet seemed like a wonderland. A place where we got amazing surprises wrapped in the ribbons of websites. Much of the interesting stuff happened all the time.

Many times, we opened up the web services for quick entertainment and relaxation. A vast amount of ideas always welcomed us. At that particular time, there was StumbleUpon. The centre of our little wonderland. You will agree with me that this was the place where we met, greeted and made amazing friends. Unfortunately, the website is no longer accessible. As it stopped after 16 continuous years of functioning. A website which was regarded as the most efficient of its time finally says goodbye to the users. StumbleUpon was one reason many people got amazing ideas and got their work done. Not only this, but here many made amazing lifelong friends and many even found their life partners here. With all these memories in hand, we can say that; "long before people were addicted to Twitter and Facebook, there was StumbleUpon". The website composed a very beautiful letter to pay off their best wishes and to say a final goodbye in its most perfect form. The letter comprised of gratitude, the company offered to the users. They also mentioned a very beautiful point. They stated that the "goodbye" they intended to was actually a "see you". It was actually like this, because the website actually transformed into Mix.com. This website originating from StumbleUpon is a much developed form of the previous website. The creators of the parent website actually closed the previous one because of the ever growing competition with the most modified apps as facebook and twitter which were far more ahead of their time even back 2002-2003. So after some polishing and preparation. Making some changes here and some modifications there. Mix was created to take the pressure of growing community over the other developed apps. With advanced features and some modelled up gears. Mix.com now is the race with its opponent apps.
But not only Mix.com but some other websites are excellent alternatives for StumbleUpon which can if not completely then partially take the memory of your beloved website from you. So, look ahead and start going through the following amazing websites which will give you StumbleUpon vibes.
