Review of StumbleUpon

Summary

Labels seem to be missing everywhere although when using a text browser it is possible to navigate and use the site successfully. Alt tags cannot be added when linking sites which show a thumbnail, although it is possible to add titles. Tags for the categories obviously do not show which are the most popular in a text only layout. Small text can be zoomed and colour contrasts are good.
