Big news from StumbleUpon today!
Not only has the social bookmarking site (or “personalized recommendation engine” as they call it) announced a new partnership program that will see sites implement internal stumblability, but they are rolling out a new design that will no longer require users to install the toolbar into their browsers.
What does this mean besides added convenience for users?
It means that many more people are likely to start using it, and that means a whole lot more content. It also means a whole lot more potential fuel for bloggers (as I mentioned, it’s one of my favorite tools for overcoming writer’s block).
I think both of these announcements are going to turn into something really big for StumbleUpon, and they are announcements that are long overdue (particularly the non-toolbar one).
For more about it, I wrote a piece on it for WebProNews this morning.
Thats great news, I didn’t hear about this yet.
I know thats why a lot of bloggers that I know dont use it because of the toolbar or having trouble installing it.
I read about this on MarketingPilgrim earlier
I’m so exited - gonna skyrocket some traffic
I too am a fan of SU and am quite excited about this new deveopment.
I read your post on WebProNews. A very nice post.
As you said on WebProNews, this will be big for them.
I know that when I went on it once I was annoyed with the toolbar so thanks for information.
Looking forward to an increase in stumble traffic
Thanks for such awesome news. I heard about it for the first time. Appreciate you shared it with us.
Social bookmarking is totally a great idea! Thanks for the bookmarking news!
I would also like to point out that there are other social bookmarking methods available such as, cms plugins for various platforms.
