Iraqi War Coverage on the Internet -- StumbleUpon Launches Service to Offer Diverse and Uncensored Points of View

Bombs are falling on Iraq and the television cameras are there to capture every blast. But are you getting the whole story? StumbleUpon launches its Iraqi Conflict category to assist news junkies in locating a diverse and uncensored pool of web sites covering the ongoing war.

StumbleUpon.com has announced the addition of a new personal interests category to help users of the StumbleUpon Toolbar locate up-to-the-minute and uncensored information on the war in Iraq. One click and internet news junkies will be able to locate high-quality Iraq-related resources as recommended by other users.

"Our aim is to facilitate a greater democracy on the internet and in our media," states Garrett Camp, StumbleUpon Systems Architect. "We present Iraqi-related web sites that have been recommended by our users so the content is always fresh and covers a wide spectrum of opinions."

StumbleUpon gathers user-suggested web sites as well as multiple news feeds to present breaking stories from around the world. With a single click on the StumbleUpon Toolbar, users will locate Iraqi-related content as recommended by other like-minded web surfers.

"It's important that we all have access to timely information on these issues from a broad range of sources," says Camp. "If we rely on a single source for our news coverage, we're not seeing the complete picture."

StumbleUpon is a free, personalized web surfing community which matches the preferences of users with the recommendations of other like-minded members. The StumbleUpon Toolbar, along with the Iraqi Conflict category pre-selected, can be downloaded at www.stumbleupon.com/iraq.html.
