StumbleUpon Day

by Lyndoman on January 16, 2008

I’ve decided to make today Stumbleupon day, I’m going to Stumble more pages than ever before and review a ton of Stumblers.

Let me know if you want your stumble blog reviewed in the comments below with a link to your stumble blog, this may mean other people will visit your blog.

I think this will help me connect with new Stumblers, I think I have stumbled most of my network, this will help me fill in the gap.

You don’t have to stumble me back, this is not what this is about.

Have you noticed whilst Stumbleupon encourages networking, digg is anti networking. I honestly think Stumble will triumph over digg because of this. Stumble respects its users as it lives and dies by them, whilst digg seems to mistrust its users, even those who have helped build their business by banning them. Can you believe that.

Anyway, this is not intending to be an anti digg post, I still get great benefit from getting clients to the front page. I am trying out a new coffee, Cart Noir, and it has fired up the furnace so to speak.

Would like to post more but have a ton of client work to be getting on with, now where is that second cup?

Love the idea, I will join you in StumbleUpon day celebrations!

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 10:42 am

Cool, the first victim. You have to give me a link to your stumble blog Matt.

Adam Lyttle 01.16.08 at 10:42 am

Every day is StumbleUpon day for me!

kelvin newman 01.16.08 at 10:46 am

You’ve gotta watch out Matt Lyndon’s stumbles are super powered

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 10:47 am

Actually Matt, I found it quite easily on your blog, now why can’t everyone be as helpful. But you can still drop a link to let other people go direct to your stumble blog

Matt Ridout 01.16.08 at 10:54 am

http://mridout196.stumbleupon.com is my stumbleupon page, good luck everyone with ultimate stumbling!

Chris 01.16.08 at 11:05 am

Cool..i like this idea too..can u review my blog Lyndoman :-)
http://chris789.stumbleupon.com

deehuff 01.16.08 at 11:34 am

Could you review my blog too, please? It’s at http://deehuff.stumbleupon.com – I’d love to join in with your StumbleUpon day celebrations. I’m new to stumbling, so not sure what my contribution towards this should be. I try to stumble people who stumble me, as well as random stumbling, have I got the right idea?

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 11:49 am

deehuff, my opinion, first rule is to Stumble what you like, then stumble who you like. Also, if you really like someones stumbles, add them as a friend and review them. Basically, the thing to do is make friends and have fun.

Nick James 01.16.08 at 12:43 pm

This is a great idea Lyndoman. I don’t suppose there’s any chance you could swing by my blog? http://swags2804.stumbleupon.com – Many thanks. Dammit! I feel such a social media whore! ;)

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 12:49 pm

Nick, in days of old a whore to the Royal Court would be called a Courtisan, selling themselves for power and favours and influence, a whore is in it just for the money. Far more accurate to be called a courtisan, and it sounds nicer ;)

Maybe this will inspire a few more people to do reviews of other stumblers themselves?

Brian Wallace - NowSourcing 01.16.08 at 12:55 pm

A fine idea, Lyndon. We should mark this down as StumbleUpon Day for posterity. Feel free to review at nowsourcing.stumbleuopn.com. What’s funny is that I actually reviewed you very recently, so this was a timely post.

Dave Davis 01.16.08 at 1:02 pm

Hi Lyndoman,
Would love to get our blog stumbled by you:
http://www.redflymarketing.com/

Some nice comment bait you have going here ;)

Dave Davis 01.16.08 at 1:03 pm

Sorry, the blog URL is http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/

Sam I Am 01.16.08 at 1:08 pm

Stumbleupon day; great idea! I have stumbled this entry and am off to go check out some of the other profiles listed here. Feel free to visit mine at http://samiwas.stumbleupon.com but I haven’t been particularly good at stumbling other sites of late, more just stumbling around and running some ad campaigns on the site. Got to hit the ‘I Like It’ button more often!!

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 1:16 pm

Dave, we are stumbling stumbleupon blogs themselves, not stumbling blogs. It’s confusing I know, but post your actual stumbleupon page and I can go to work.

Jack from eyeflare.com 01.16.08 at 1:20 pm

Great idea, I’ll definitely return some stumbles: http://eyeflare.stumbleupon.com

Cesar H Castro Jr 01.16.08 at 1:45 pm

StumbleUpon days sound like and awesome Idea, Check out http://www.standardsociety.com when you get the chance and then go to http://rootstem.stumbleupon.com/ to add me as a friend. Happy Stumbling

Dave 01.16.08 at 2:31 pm

Hey Lyndon

What a great idea and post ! You never cease to amaze me with your origional posts.. I would be more than greatful if you took a peek at my miserable stumble blog !

http://dvola.stumbleupon.com/

many thanks

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 2:39 pm

OK, all stumbled so far. This is turning out to be quite interesting. The problem with being new to social networking is that it is very hard to get started, so I am pleased to give a few newish stumblers a leg up.

If you are polite and not taking the mick, it’s easy to get people to stumble your stuff, problem is there are a lot out there who like the short cut and seem to think having their stuff stumbled is their right.

Pete 01.16.08 at 3:29 pm

Absolutely brilliant idea and would love to be included if I’m not too late… http://sitemost.stumbleupon.com

This day is going to go down in the Social Media history books – I think there needs to be more days like this one!

Keep up the great work – you’ve gained a stumble and a sphinn from me :)

spostareduro 01.16.08 at 3:48 pm

You totally stole my idea!
lol
I’m in! I’m in!
Have fun!

Tony Payne 01.16.08 at 4:00 pm

I joined SU yesterday! So far it’s pretty cool. My stumble blog page is

Michael Martine 01.16.08 at 4:13 pm

Here’s my StumbleUpon blog. Great idea! Happy Stumble Day!

Erica DeWolf 01.16.08 at 4:16 pm

Yay! This is a really cool concept. Review my stumbling! http://emd5005.stumbleupon.com

I will too join in the fun!

Squiffy2 01.16.08 at 4:35 pm

Yes please have a browse of my pages ;O)

Tanner Hobin 01.16.08 at 4:36 pm

Wow, great idea!

From the looks of it your going to have a busy day. Fun, but busy.

If you have time: http://tannerhobin.stumbleupon.com/

Happy StumbleUpon Day!

Shana Albert 01.16.08 at 4:37 pm

What a great idea, Lyndoman. :)

You already reviewed my StumbleUpon Blog a couple a months ago. But, I wanted to leave a comment anyway to let you know that your StumbleUpon Day idea is Brilliant!!.

Dr. Pete 01.16.08 at 4:49 pm

Nice idea… one of my New Year’s resolutions was to be a better StumbleUpon “citizen”, so this fits right in. I never thought about stumbling someone’s SU blog (is that meta-stumbling?), but hey, I’m game:

http://crumplezone.stumbleupon.com

I’ll do my best to be extra generous with the stumbling today. I’m naturally clumsy, so it should be easy :)

Nick James 01.16.08 at 4:57 pm

Many thanks, Lyndoman.

dockroger 01.16.08 at 5:16 pm

I’m in. From the looks of it, you’re going to need more coffee. Good Luck

Melanie 01.16.08 at 5:16 pm

Kewl! Great timing, I recently started to beef up my SU profile and blog ;)

http://crashingflwrgrl.stumbleupon.com/

Thanks!

Mike - Twenty Steps 01.16.08 at 5:18 pm

What a cracking idea, Lyndon. Every day should be a StumbleUpon Day. Huzzah!

OK so we’d never get any work done but what the heck?

Like Shana, you reviewed me a while back but I kinda figured it would be rude not to join in the fun :)

http://bigpond.stumbleupon.com/

Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 5:25 pm

yeah no probs if I have already stumbled you, drop your link, if it was good enough for me to review in the first place others may find your Stumble Blog useful too.

Iob 01.16.08 at 7:17 pm
Wingnut 01.16.08 at 7:29 pm

If you aren’t stumbled out yet I’d be grateful

http://davewingnut.stumbleupon.com/

Either way, love the idea.

Eric 01.16.08 at 7:47 pm

Loving this idea… bring on the stumblies! Yer pal at http://eschaefer.stumbleupon.com

Frances 01.16.08 at 7:50 pm

If its not too late…

http://franl.stumbleupon.com/

Generous idea.

Tanner Christensen 01.16.08 at 7:52 pm

I would love to hear your thoughts on my stumble blog Lyndon:

Martin 01.16.08 at 7:53 pm

John 01.16.08 at 8:37 pm

Quite a response you’ve gotten on this. Here’s mine: http://john-sampson.stumbleupon.com/

Josh Garner 01.16.08 at 8:39 pm

Hey Lyndon,

I hope we get a compiled list of Stumbleupon blogs after all this.

Anthony a.k.a OldSchool 01.16.08 at 9:26 pm

Lyndoman, this is good, but a little advanced notice would have helped :-)

Colin Cochrane 01.16.08 at 10:04 pm

Great idea!

I’ll partake in your generosity if you are still willing.

http://colincochrane.stumbleupon.com/

Thanks!

Joy 01.16.08 at 10:33 pm

Wow!…I’m pretty sure you’ll gonna have a busy day stumbling through pages..^^..Good thing you have a cup of Cart Noire with you..^^

Happy Stumbleupon Day Lyndoman!

thatedeguy 01.16.08 at 11:13 pm
Lyndoman 01.16.08 at 11:46 pm

Phew, hanging in there.

@Josh, what a great idea Josh, send me the list when you have finished, ;)

Matt 01.17.08 at 12:00 am

Kristen 01.17.08 at 12:26 am

I would love my site Stumbled http://www.socialmediamom.com and while you’re at it, I would be honored if you added me as a mutual friend if you have room. I am kmunse and I am a fan of yours.

Thank you!

Burgo 01.17.08 at 12:29 am

This is an awesome idea Lyndon… I’d like to become a “courtisan” too :P

http://therealburgo.stumbleupon.com/

Will be passing round the “pay it forward” vibe today :)

Josh Garner 01.17.08 at 12:33 am

….I hate you.

Fine. I’ll do my best.

Burgo 01.17.08 at 1:17 am

Hah! Thanks for the alliterative review :P

Allen 01.17.08 at 1:33 am
Lyndoman 01.17.08 at 1:49 am

@Burgo, I like to play

@Josh, you did come up with the idea, lol

feloniousrambler 01.17.08 at 5:39 am

Me too! Happy belated Stumble Upon Day!

spuds 01.17.08 at 9:11 am

feel free to stumble my site.

Paul Sanchez 01.17.08 at 9:14 am

Hope I’m not to late to get a review. Great idea.

Tate Linden 01.17.08 at 3:19 pm

Wow – I don’t think I’ve ever seen link-bait quite this effective.

Bravo.

abhilash 01.17.08 at 7:05 pm

damn. belated. ah well. caught it on the reader a day late. Great idea though. let’s just hope this little stunt doesn’t get everyone kicked off stumble. then we’d have to send them an email begging for forgiveness.

http://browntown.stumbleupon.com/

Will you be doing this on the regular? I think it would be fun to do this and perhaps blog about some of the best ideas. There’s always plenty to post about after some time a-stumblin.

rock on. :)

Anthony Davis 01.17.08 at 8:18 pm

I thought EVERYDAY was Stumble Upon Day!!!

Thanks!

Constant Reader 01.19.08 at 1:24 am

Oh, I like that idea. Too bad I missed it. Maybe I’ll pick a day next week and make it MY Stumble Upon day and do the same as you.

Carol 01.19.08 at 8:51 am

Feel free to check out my website (blog). I’d also love to know hw to get the “Stumble This!” icon (not just text but a “hot linked” graphic onto my sidebar! Stumble Upon’s directions are confusing!

Thyanks,

Carol

stumble is way better than digg in my opinion.

duncan bloor 01.23.08 at 10:38 am

As always, an exceptional idea for a post and, as always, I don’t read it until weeks after! (been busy with ace new client).

http://www.CutTheMustardInternet.com is a blog turned website of my new independant SEO consultancy (I’m leaving the full service agency game for good!) that I’ve just transferred over from my blogger account. I’ve started to build an SEO trust directory on it:
http://cutthemustardinternet.com/seo-recommended/
The idea being that only the original members can place other trusted members on there. Happy stumbling!

1389 01.29.08 at 10:21 pm

I love SU. I’m the primary admin for 1389 Blog – Antijihadist Tech – our primary focus is promoting freedom of speech and the press for the counterterrorist community. We also track the effort to combat e-jihadists, other “hard news” stories not adequately covered elsewhere, and some tech tips.

We have found that SU is great for building traffic to our articles, for making new friends, even for locating potential blog contributors. The problems that are inherent in Digg don’t even come up in SU.

Stop by and visit me on SU – I’m 1389ad.

Andy MacDonald - Blogging & Marketing Tips 02.16.08 at 4:07 am

Hey,

Im not sure if your still doing this, but if you are i would REALLY appreciate it. I am a new blogger and could do with all the help i can get to help promote my new site. I am also interested in your services and am about to email you about it.

Many thanks.
