StumbleUpon: Rumbling, Not Stumbling
StumbleUpon, the Web site discovery browser extension that was born in Calgary but now resides in Silicon Valley, continues to gain momentum. Read/Write Web, one of the more popular tech blogs, has an enthusiastic post citing its Social Bookmarking Faceoff in which StumbleUpon had more users - 1.27 million - than its biggest rival, del.ico.us. Here’s a nice quote from Read/Write Web’s post:
“I can attest to the power of StumbleUpon - our most popular post over the past couple of months (according to my Google Analytics service) has been Top 10 Firefox Web 2.0 Add-ons. Usually our top posts are ones that have had the fortune to be Slashdotted or dugg. But this one got neither. Instead, 27% of its traffic was driven by StumbleUpon and 14% by del.icio.us. And the flow from StumbleUpon continues. I have to admit though that it’s one of only a few R/WW posts to have been stumbled in a big way, so like digg and Slashdot it’s not something publishers can expect on a regular basis.”
