@Clyde – I so agree! I wish instead there was a “I have no opinion one way or the other” thumb LOL!

Nice post. I'm feel the same way on the thumbs down. Just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it warrants a thumbs down. That just seems kind of rude to me. When I run across these I don't give them a vote at all. Feels more reasonable. Clyde Denniss last blog post..Search Engine Optimization Tools: Website Builders Daily Digest

@GoogleWealth – while I understand where you’re coming from, I disagree. Leaving Stumbleupon out of your marketing toolkit could be a mistake. We receive 100s and 1000s of visitors per post in many cases all coming in from our networking using Stumbleupon. Having to adapt to new rules can be a pain, but for some services worth the extra effort

Wow.

Sounds like next, they’ll be building a big wall around their site, and posting armed guards on top, preventing us from going anywhere else. LOL

But thanks for the post, its good to know which sites to leave out of my future tools list.

@Scott – thanks!

@Barbara – I think the key thing here is the difference between just clicking and running versus stumbling, reading, maybe commenting, voting, then choosing Review and tagging and reviewing on SU itself about what you’re voting on. My trouble is I really hate to give anyone a thumbs down. Even the worse page means someone worked as hard as they could on it (hopefully). If I disagree does that mean it’s must get a thumbs down? I think just skipping it for the next is the polite thing to do. But maybe that’s just me.

@Brad – lots of potential with SU. Lots of new people to meet and see what they like as they Stumble (or I guess, too, what they didn’t like while using StumbleUpon).

Thanks for the good “heads up,” Diane.

I just need to get into SU and study up on all of its ins and outs.

It’s obviously contributed to my traffic picture and I’m sure would do even more if I was using it to its fullest potential.

It is my favorite social bookmarking place. That other one is the one I won’t mention, but I’m not crazy about. I hate to see Stumble change. I liked it just the way it was!
