We compiled 50 of the most popular sites submitted to StumbleUpon this year to create a “Best of SU 2010” list that reflects some of the most interesting (and in some cases, unusual) issues, trends, ideas, photos and videos of the year, from Beluga whales blowing bubbles in Japan to a father who creatively captures his kids on film. To check it out, go to the Best of SU 2010 page and click the yellow “Stumble” button in the upper lefthand corner.
