Google Makes StumbleUpon Competitor

Yesterday I wrote about Ebay buying StumbleUpon for 40 million dollars.
Now Google announces that they are making similar function to their already existing toolbar.

The new Google toolbar icon for their “stumble” is a couple of dices, when you click them you will get to a new website based on your previous searches on Google.

The concept is not an exact duplicate of StumbleUpon, because StumbleUpon find websites for you based on other peoples ratings of the sites, and Google is finding websites for you by looking and analyzing your last search queries.
