    If you recognise this face, you have met one of your stumble enablers already. For the rest of us, here's the face behind the red-eyes, cool-pics, funny-sites and whatever. ... Will.

    Launched in 2002 by three 20-somethings in a Calgary, Alberta, apartment, StumbleUpon now has 2 million registered users drawn by its knack for finding websites that match their interests and those of others with similar tastes as they "stumble" around the Net. Co-founder Garrett Camp (shown right), who totes around a mid-'80s Nikon F3 (yes, with actual film), came up with the idea as he was working on a master's in software engineering. Frustrated as he tried to indulge his hobby online - "There wasn't a good way to find the best photo sites," Camp says - he tapped his own background in clustering technology. With coding help from Justin LaFrance and Geoff Smith, he created an early version of StumbleUpon. Having nailed the photo problem, the team quickly saw how the technology could click with all sorts of media. In the same way that it matches users with like-minded websites, StumbleUpon's technology also pairs online ads with targeted demographics and interests. Now StumbleUpon is attempting to do the same for online video and video advertising. In December the startup launched StumbleVideo, a service that offers the closest thing to channelsurfing that you'll find on the Web. Tell us what you think about StumbleUpon's model: Is it the next MySpace? Funding: $1.5 million (Ron Conway, Mitch Kapor, Josh Kopelman, Brad O'Neill, Ram Shriram) Headquarters: San Francisco Employees: 12 Founded: 2001 Business model: Advertising, subscriptions Bragging rights: Cash flow positive Next up: New features like content controls and mobile video recommendations

    Interesting. Top 25 Web 2.0 startups most likely to make waves in 2007. Guess what's first on the list. Are any of them the next YouTube or MySpace? They say that a good sign that a Web firm is highly successful is when Google gobbles it. :P Personally, I like SU the way I liked Google years ago, when there were still many choices. It's fun, but it's not annoying. Good luck. :)
