The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Any StumbleUpon users here?
(I got 300 hits daily from StumbleUpon when two readers stumbled my blog on photography. That blog is five days old. I don't even have a banner up yet. You can see my fascination with it. Hehe.)

Great thread idea :)
Thanks for the link on advanced SU tactics, Erica!
For those curious, SU is actually supposed to yield a higher conversion and consistent traffic than Digg. So it's definitely a good investment of time.
Anyone is free to add me to SU. I haven't been using it excessively but will be sure to begin to look at it more now, especially with others on it and all.

One piece from Beyond Megapixels made the buzz page on SU. It's where the most stumbled pages are listed. We got almost 20,000 hits from SU for that article alone. Possibly more. The down side is you get this one spiteful asshole who'll give you a bad review just to draw attention to himself, never mind that he's being a complete moron. It's much, MUCH worse in Digg (they're cruel, that bunch) but we've yet to get decent traffic from Digg so no bad reviews for us there.
The trick is finding the people who are interested in pretty much the same things you are and befriending them. It's hard getting a photographer interested in stocks and bonds, much less review it. But I do stumble my friends' stumbles whenever I can.

I joined it. Then it spammed everyone in my address book (including people I don't want reading my blog, such as two ex-boyfriends and my grandmother). And I still haven't figured out how to use the darn thing.

How is this possible? I've never heard of anything like this happening before.

I'm not sure how it happened... I'm giving StumbleUpon a second chance at your recommendation. I put stuff on my profile, and now I'm getting random messages from men in Istanbul... I'm not sure that it's actually improving my blog traffic yet, but it's an interesting distraction.

Okay, so I started using it, and all these men from foreign countries (mostly Turkey) keep hitting on me. And also a creepy 76-year-old American man who called me "sexy and vibrant". Dear God. Anyone else experiencing this?

Dude, that's just wrong. Obviously, this has never happened to me. Then again, I'm a married cartoon. I also don't know of anybody else who's had to deal with this kind of crap on SU. I'd suggest changing your avatar and/or closing the account and starting a new one.

I LOVE Stumble! I'm http://snicholson26.stumbleupon.com...
that's how I found this site, actually.
As far as creepy men, I totally empathize... pretty annoying. I usually ignore it and it goes away.. but I still get creeped out. "I want to kiss your neck?" "Who the **** are you!?"

Really?? I'm happy that stumble worked. I think Joanne was the one who discovered it. I hope the others stumble 20somethings too.
