Stumble is doing something right that is for sure. Even if some feel it is going downhill, it is getting more attention lately, which is good. I think new is generally a good thing, and to be expected in the tech world. I find it amusing how many folks get all worked up when a site makes some changes. For the site, it seems to me a good thing, cause people start talking. I bet Stumbles traffic has gone up quite a bit in the last little bit here. And how many of you folks would agree with me that they (stumble, and other sites that have undergone sig change) expected to get hit with more traffic, activity, new sign-ups, etc. Smart marketing, create controversy and make people talk, change er' up....remember Facebooks last little controversial time in the sun? I think these guys know exactly what they are doing and my thought...hats of StumbleUpon, your in the spot light for now. Cheers all! Jeromy (AKA Hillbilly) Great discussion you got going on here buddy!
