It is good for those with a site and those looking for a site. It has also inspired similar search tools, such as the "ranDUMBizer." This tool is different though, it allows you to plug in a site that you already visit and enjoy, so that it pulls up random sites that are similar to the site you already know you like (so I suppose it isn't so random!). It is based on proprietary clustering technology from the Dumbfind search engine. It is in an early beta stage right now, but I see it going places.

Trying it out, after 20 stumbles, I had already seen 4 sites, heard about 2 of them, and already had 1 bookmarked, leaving 14 that I hadn't seen before. That's pretty good, though it's a small sample set. It looks like you can hack URLs in the format of http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/justagwailo.com/ (replace my weblog's URL with yours), and that one person said my site didn't render well in Firefox. That was before the current redesign, though, so that's no longer true.
