StumbleUpon Users… Be Careful What You Stumble

Unlike other social media sites, StumbleUpon started out as a toolbar that would show you random pages based on what tags you had indicated an interest in.

Since people never really know what they are going to see through the toolbar, StumbleUpon uses a helpful preference option that allows you to filter what level content you wish to be shown.

StumbleUpon’s Su.pr is Really… Super

supr StumbleUpons Su.pr is Really... Super picture If you have seen more and more people talking about ‘su.pr‘ and you have no idea what they are talking about, StumbleUpon has decided to jump into the URL shortening game.

Following in the footsteps of Digg’s recent release of the DiggBar, StumbleUpon has released what has to be one of the most feature filled shorteners to date.

With everything from tracking shortened urls, viewing stats for how much traffic StumbleUpon sends to a given site, Twitter and Facebook integration, and much more, Su.pr is really living up to it’s name.

The service is still invite only, but there are a few invite codes floating around that will get you into the program. You can try ’suprrww’, which worked for me. (Thanks Michael Farley)
