I would think that they could come up with a Bookmarklet or something along those lines so that people can shuffle through some sites when they are looking to kill some time.

I've always been a fan of StumbleUpon.I find the other social sites like Digg and Reddit cold and unfriendly, with many users just jumping on the latest hot topic or keen to see how many diggs a particular post can get, there doesn't seem to be much social element to those sites. I find it really difficult to connect with users on those sites. I've seen a lot of quality content on those sites get buried.I find StumbleUpon so much more friendly (as you mention in your post), with a lot of really good quality content. I've built up a good user base of friends and I like the 'network' page which shows who has visited my pages, it allows me to easily connect with fellow stumblers who share similar interests. I've found a lot of good sites that way. I agree. I’ve always been a fan of StumbleUpon.
