A little randomness is what made StumbleUpon so enjoyable, too. But, like the link you've shared, it too is defunct.

I spent an afternoon writing a python script that picks a random word, searches sites where weird/creative folks gather (instructables? tumblr? hacker news? are.na? i need more ideas!), and opens a random link from the search results. The word list it draws from needs some pruning, but it was a decent way to return to the feeling that SU used to give me. I was thinking of turning it into a single serving site, but my dev skills really aren't up to par yet. I don't know where I'd even start to get a basic page up and running.

It's nifty to read about a collection of services from people who had similar feelings!
