this will not make SU worthless because not everyone will thumb up the sites they don’t like.

I signed up as an advertiser because the upcoming StumbleUpon feature. Are you going to send out an email notification when this is available?

So what are you guys gonna do if you’re able to make Digg and StumbleUpon completely useless?

I think this is pretty damn funny.

But remember that parasites usually die when they kill the host.

jacob,

yes, as we said, one of the reasons we decided against reddit was because their votes are not public. This makes gaming them much harder, because our users would stick out.

Stumbleupon..
yes, I used this for a while and I believe it is not as easy as you think…
if the content is not that “cool”, people is going to vote it down very soon…
I tried before and I know only the cool contents can stay for a while…

You sure the reason you’re not gaming reddit isn’t because you can’t? Considering they’re the only social news site of status that has a unique front page algorithm: links actually need to be sustained with upvotes over time to remain on the front page.

This makes it much harder to game since they don’t start out at #1 once leaving the “new page”.

But maybe you just want to try something new with Stumble. Either way, keep up the great work!!!

Great move!
“new Digg users are always welcome as well”
there’s a problem – my girlfriend regitered.. few weeks ago (?) and hasn’t been verified yet. It’s probably not wise to give here her login [similar to the digg one] so please email me and I will give you more informations
thanks!
