Recently, I’ve been using StumbleUpon to increase my traffic. It has worked like a charm. But after using it on a daily basis for the last couple of weeks, I can tell you that it has much more value than simply generating traffic. Your eyes are opened up to the Internet like never before. I’ve made a couple of good friends, and it has proven to be yet another great way to take advantage of social marketing. To some of you, StumbleUpon is old news. To those of you that haven’t started using it yet, get over there. Here are some blog posts about StumbleUpon, one of my most recent stumbles, and a quick shot of sports.
- I’ve stumbled upon many different websites, pictures, and videos. Some grab my attention, others get the “thumbs down”. Jesus of the Week was one I stumbled yesterday. It shows images of Jesus on a variety of canvases from wheels to buildings to belt buckles. Goes to show…Jesus gets love on more than toast and tortillas.
- Apparently StumbleUpon has been busy making its mark on a variety of people. You won’t just find bloggers there. There is a whole new audience looking for specific things…and discovering new things. TechIndustryNews has posted an Alexa snapshot showing trends from StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Digg.
- The Web Urbanist has posted a list of the 8 funniest things ABOUT StumbleUpon. If you use it regularly, you’ll find that these are painfully true. I know a couple of people that Stumble all day and all night.

- In sports news, the FBI is investigating an NBA referee who allegedly was betting on basketball games. Nice. First the childish tirade by Joey Crawford and now this. Read the rest of the article by Murray Weiss over at the New York Post. I can’t wait until they announce his name. Sorry, Ookie. This takes zero attention off of that dogfighting indictment.
