Padawan 2,126 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Fot those that don't already know, Stumbleupon.com is a social bookmarking site where users can make friends and "stumble upon" sites they like across the internet. Similar in some ways to the likes of del.icio.us, it allows us humans to give out our own rankings to the sites we find and then gives it's user base the option of looking through the pool, with the most voted for sites appearing first within their respective categories. Of course there is also the social side to it as well, hence my asking for more people to sign up and add themselves as my friends. It would be good to see some familiar faces on there! My stumbleupon name is - http://nengwe.stumbleupon.com - come and join me and the other groups for webmasters and other interest groups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
