An Ode to StumbleUpon
(photo by xyzzy)
O, StumbleUpon, you’re our only hope left. Digg started shouting at us, and we’re tempted to listen – but to no avail.
Reddit changed its looks, and is quite nice, but is a whole new alien.
Netscape went up, up, and away to Propeller.
Yahoo, you confuse us. You are already are Delicious, but Mash is just a wee child. Are you bookmarking, networking, news or what?
But you, StumbleUpon. You have stayed true to us. We want to know you very well, but don’t change a thing. We like you just the way you are.
what a great piece of social prose and your right I don’t want SU to change
@tim: thanks! I don’t want them to change, either.
“Follow the silver gradient road, follow the silver gradient road
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the silver gradient road”
@dan:
I’ll get you my pretty….and I’ll invite your little dog Toto, too.
SU please dont change..please don’t change (while tapping my red shoes together)
@Sujan: lol. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. He’s making sure SU is working
I fired up firefox in 2004. For me it is the finest browser. Everything works intuitively and makes for great surfing. Stumble has got to be the finest..extension?…………ever.
Stumble is just a peripheral extension? I think not. Whatever it is called it is a premier way to meet people and discuss ideas. Thank you fellow stumblers!!
@tomasco: and thank you. I’m a huge fan of Firefox myself and have been using for several years now.
Mmm… Firefox… My first experience with it was v0.99 or somewheres around there. There I was a nublet in class reading slashdot for one of the first times…
Yes, absolutely right! I am with you. Very well written. I am impressed.
You wont make it to front page, remember the bury gang!
@dan: way to be. Glad you’ve liked firefox for so long. Why are we talking about firefox so much here? Isn’t this about StumbleUpon and the Wizard of…ok, I guess we are getting off on a tangent
@ravi: I’m glad you like it here. Hope to see you back!
@josh: thanks for the support. I like it when people say that I can’t do something. It gives me more drive. What front page are we talking about, Digg? StumbleUpon?
It already changed to the worse it seems:

@tad chef: Perhaps. But, it isn’t that surprising. SU isn’t an SEO community such as Sphinn. That’s not to say that the SU community doesn’t find such articles interesting. Take this Ode to StumbleUpon story: it currently shows that 50 people liked it, with 29 reviews.
LoL – I was demoing my startup at TechCrunch40 where Garrett Camp stopped by my stand to have a conversation with another attendee.
I sorta made an outburst ….OOO It’s StumbleUpon guy… StumbleUpon ….
It’s a great thing, as if Google doesn’t give me good search results, I will use Stumble search for more relevant results!
@ryan: nice work. See if the wizard is going to help you get back to Kansas now.
Thanks for the mention, Dana!
