Anyone using StumbleUpon?

I found out about Stumble Upon through my referral logs. It was one of the websites giving me some traffic the first week of this month. Well, I took a peek at first and it was one of those bookmarking social networking sites. I joined and am honestly having fun with it.

It has a plugin that installs this little toolbar in your browser. You can hit the stumble button and it will take you to a random site or if your on a site, you can click the I like it button. If the site has never been stumbled on, it will popup a box for you to fill in the title, description, category and tag.

After seeing it on on of my sites referral logs, I then went and started to stumble on my other sites to get them in the action too!

It has a blog system too, a friends list, sharing and more.

Have a great day.

Now that's an interesting concept. I'll definitely have to look into this more. Thanks for sharing, vishenda. As always, you've contributed something very, very useful.

I'm into social bookmarking sites, but I haven't used Stumble Upon, too... thanks for the positive comments. I'll take a look at it, too...

I've been using it for roughly a week, I like it so far. Found some really cool pages I don't think I would have found otherwise.

exactly, especially their photography and humor stuffs, its a huge community of stumbling people. I had a good time chatting with them. Just make sure you got a good blog and never make it obvious if you're promoting some sites

enjoy and be happy always

I used stumble upon to promote one of my sites and I get constant hits form it. I highly recommend looking up every social style site and adding your link and information. There are thousands of free ways to promote your site. Myspace, Kaneva, StumpleUpon, Digg, etc...
