Update: So Chris did a video on this based on the e-mail I sent him about this, and he never mentions my name in the video
So heres the video:
Recently I downloaded the university version of Firefox after a small computer problem erased my then current version of Firefox (hint hint: I have Vista). After installation i noticed it came with a new tool bar for a website called StumpleUpon.com, which is a social networking site for the entire internet, whats this mean?
Basically after signing up and downloading the tool bar for StumpleUpon you have opportunity to click on a button to say if you like or dislike a website, upon doing this you are prompted with a box to write a short review of the website. Once you do this then your name and review show up on the websites profile on StumpleUpon and allows other users to see what websites you enjoy, even your own websites (hint hint: free promotion). There is something funny to this, you have the option to hide “Adult” websites that you enjoy to visit! I nearly fell out of my seat when it asked me if I wanted to share the Adult sites that I favored, which is none by the way.
This is great chance for bloggers and website owners to share their site with a community of already 3 million members. So if you are active on the website you have a better chance of someone seeing your website or blog. You can also communicate to members on there and yes you will get some spam from people to check out there site, but whats a website with out spam, honestly? I am already addicted to this site so do your self and check it out and be prepared to be addicted!

Yeah, SU is one of my favorites because of how much many different types of site and content gets recognized. The visitors are quite sticky as well.
