Stumbleupon News from Pearl

Posted by Pixelhead

Pearl , whose avatar is to the left, just sent me an email letting me know a comment she made on my Link Building Tips post had gone into the Spam folder. On a daily basis, I get a couple hundred pages of spam submissions that Askimet filters out, but sometimes it might do too good of a filtering job. Occasionally I do check some of the spam submissions, but normally, I just delete without checking. Sorry Pearl and anyone else whose comment may have been trapped by Askimet.

As a way of making it up to Pearl, I thought I would let you know that Pearl has a post which is were I found out that Stumbleupon is removing the 200 friend limit. That is certainly good news for a lot of people. Prior to the change, you had to go through your friends and weed out the ones that were not active in the Stumbleupon community so that you could maximize your Stumbleupon experience. This being something that I rarely got to do. Sorry Peeps, and thanks for being on top of this Pearl.

If you are a Stumbleupon user, check out Pearls Stumbleupon Profile, and add her if you like her stumbles and stop by her blog and give it a read as well.

I’ve never got the whole stumbleupon thing- I am only just getting my head around Digg but not the community thing.

WOuld be good if someone did a stumbleupon tutorial for absolute idiots!

Hi Adam

Although I saw this post this morning, I was running to a meeting and then didn’t have a minute to get back online. Thank you so much for such a nice welcome on your blog and for introducing me to your readers.

A few days ago, I wrote about my own comment on my blog getting caught in Akismet spam, so it’s possible the plugin is experiencing problems lately.

@Karuvai & @Wayne… thanks for subscribing.. will look forward to hearing from you guys!

Nice blog and I shall visit regularly for a while to see how it goes. Stumbleupon may be lifting the limit, but Twitter is imposing one without making a formal announcement about it!

Oh great. I didn’t think I’d ever be able get to the 200 limit. Now I’ve got a new target to aspire towards failing at…

Nicole, thanks for the heads up about Twitter.
Thinkdave, well now that 200 doesnt seem like such a high goal now does it?

Pearl, I have been going into Askimet a little more often, but still have not noticed any good comments being filtered.

the best is to use a combination of digg, reddit and stumblupon, that gives you the best idea of whats happening, how do “friends” truly benefit one on these networks though?

I love stumbleupon and I think it’s the best Firefox app there is!

Big Show, I could not agree with you more. I know it is surely the app that I use most frequently. Del.icious would probably be next.

Another fan of SU here. I ‘ve been using it for over a year and I find it a great way to bookmark great sites and share them with friends. It also generates traffic to my own sites too. Great post, Pixelhead!!
