Google Builds Its Own Random Search 
By: Andy Beal 2007-04-19 If indeed Google did lose out on buying StumbleUpon to eBay, theyre moving quickly to prove they can simply build it themselves. Theyve just announced their own random search button to the Google Toolbar. Adding the pair of dice to your Google Toolbar will allow you to randomly surf web sites that match your interests, based on your Google search history (you have to enable Google search history). OK, so it doesnt have the same social networking aspects that StumbleUpon has, but it certainly has a larger index of sites to pull from. In StumbleUpons favor is that the new feature is very limited and you have to enable it, to use it. That said, like anything that Google rolls out, if it becomes popular, look for it to be added to the default experience. If you dont like the whole toolbar random deal, Googles also introduced something similar as a tab on Google Personalized homepage.
