And then they wonder why their content never becomes popular. Each site is different. There are many things I would submit to Digg but not StumbleUpon and vice versa.

Del.icio.us always feels like a site that has potential, but hasn't quite obtained it yet. Too raw sounds like a perfect description. :) TzuVelli, that's true. Even the pure submission sites are all different in some way or shape. I wonder if it's because offline so many businesses are starting to think that every shop has to look exactly the same, so we expect the online sites to all be alike too. Personally, I prefer Apple's old catch phrase: Think different. (Just wish they still encouraged innovation and uniqueness.)

All of the articles you have written about StumbleUpon (and linked to on that page) mention exchanging stumbles, a procedure that is against StumbleUpon's Terms of Service and can result in both the stumbler and anyone involved being banned: “StumbleUpon does not allow personal accounts to be used for the purposes of incentivization or promoting sites. This would be considered a breach of our Terms. The practice of sending PM’s encouraging or inviting other stumblers to rate/review sites in exchange for reciprocal reviews/ratings, monetary, or any other form of reward is strictly forbidden. The practice of actively soliciting a rating or review for a site is also forbidden. Should you receive a PM, or encounter forum postings that breach this rule, you are encouraged to report this via feedback. Accounts participating in such practices will be deleted and banned, and the related sites deleted and banned from the system.” Simon, I visited your page.

StumbleUpon has a little bit of a myspace vibe to it for me

Del.icio.us is just too raw and simple

I'm glad you're having fun with StumbleUpon! That's been my main goal for this site from the beginning. I still haven't really explored Ma.gnolia.com but I do like BlogCatalog. @Brian: I like Del.icio.us much better than I used to. I think I first signed up when they were in beta, and bookmarking things was a chore if you forgot to do it when you first added the link (which of course, I always forgot to do). I like how it's set up now, I just have to remind myself to use it. I do like your process of using the three sites. Now if I could be as organized. :) @Allan: Thanks!

I use many social network sites, and the ones I spend the most time on are SU, which is pretty addictive, Facebook is great to get to know other online friends, BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog are great for community building and learning from others blogs, and bookmarking sites are varied. I have my favorites installed in my tool-bar for easy access like, Del.icio.us, Faves, Clipmarks, (note: when I use either Clipmarks or Faves, it automatically saves to Del.icio.us as well), the Sharethis button, so it makes for easy and quick access. I found an interesting article by Caroline Middlebrook which discusses quick methods of bookmarking. You can find it here http://tinyurl.com/38xc77 with how to set up some shortcut keys too. It does keep me very occupied to say the least :) <em>Buzzing with Ange's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/angesbiz/JVqz/~3/196694166/'>Forgiveness and Emotional Intelligence</a> Well Teeg… I use many social network sites, and the ones I spend the most time on are SU, which is pretty addictive, Facebook is great to get to know other online friends, BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog are great for community building and learning from others blogs, and bookmarking sites are varied.

I think StumbleUpon is unique in that it can be used in many different ways. It's such a flexible system and the features are powerful. Personally, I use 3 main networks: SU, Digg, and Del.icio.us (my name is "auer1816" on all 3). I kind of use them all the same way though, mostly as a method of bookmarking and sharing of information. Del.icio.us is at the base -- I bookmark everything I find useful or interesting. If it's more interesting than the norm, I'll submit to SU (or give it a thumbs up). And if it's particularly interesting and outstanding I'll submit to Digg (or add my digg). <em>Brian Auer's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpicEditsWeblog/~3/196908845/'>December Challenge: Day 7 - Paul Meissner</a> Interesting theory you’ve got going here.
