   It will explode with traffic - already getting sizable amount of visits from them suprised it took so long for them to finally do this.

   I have been a user for a while….very addictive. It has been around for years, but has just begun to hit critical mass.

   I use SU for a while and LOVED it.

   Honestly, I had to remove it because it is SO addictive. If I needed a quick break, I would hit that button. It’s like getting a fix…

   StumbleUpon is a phenomenon. A sleeping giant.
   Meet me at http://tex-terror.stumbleupon.com/ to get started.

   The “Stumble!” button isn’t even the best about SU… blogging can be quite nice too if you know a little HTML. (Or CSS: have look at Bossej’s blog to see what’s possible.)

   The groups are cool, too. A little anarchistic, though ;]

   Hey, that screenshot in the story of the SU profile is me (with longer hair)!

   I’m famous! Hurrah.

   I thought I was looking at some clever script which had linked to an image of my SU homepage automatically at first, then I realised it was a static image…

   About time if you ask me, you just can’t shove the dominant browser aside if you are serious about grabbing more people’s attention!

   On the otherhand, Stumble is awesome!

    I don’t get it. I’ve been using StumpleUpon in IE and Maxthon for at least 2 years, probably longer. This is not new.

    I’m a fan of stumbleupon…

    I’d be interested to know how much analysis they do for which sites to stumble on and how much its just random. Anyone know if they are doing pretty intensive analysis or just matching by category?

    I’m with Jeremy, I have been using it in IE for quite a while (almost a year), not sure why this is news.

    What IS news is using it with the RanduMBIzEr (not news because it’s new, but because relatively few know about it). We have a tool at Dumbfind that allows you to one-click submit a site (or page) you are looking at and then we serve you another site that is related. It is sort of like a directed version of Stumbleupon.

    They work very well together too. I often stumble and then if I see something I like I will hit the randumbizer to see more stuff like it.

    It is also good for research. For instance, I was doing research on venture capital firm and I put in one that was appealing and just hit the randumbizer cycling through other VC’s that were deemed related.

    There is a bookmarklet and a toolbar.

    Its been availibe for IE since the beggining. This was just an overdue upgrade to add the latest features IE users were missing.

    Reguardless -great software. The developers are very moral people too and that is all the more reason to support them.

    The potential danger here, perhaps, is that the more people discover stumbleupon, the more it becomes like the rest of the web. As the number of users go up, the quality of the ’stumbles’ seems to go down.

    But its still an amazing concept for integrating blogging, bookmarking, and community. I’ve enjoyed it immensely.

    I can’t imagine why anyone would be excited about having millions of IE users suddenly rating the StumbleUpon sites — the quality of the experience is bound to go down. What early adopters think is cool is often much more interesting than what the population at large thinks is cool.

    Watch out for many more kittens and bears.

    There appears to be a fixed list of sites that appear, in order, when you click the Stumble button; if you leave the site and return, you have to stumble through everything you saw before to get to anything new. Given that the idea is to encounter new content, this seems like a bug.

    Without knowing how often the list is updated, I have little reason to return. Is there any way to at least randomize the delivery order?
