Everything Old is New Again!

Wednesday, October 01, 2008

StumbleUpon was created for just one reason: to help people share and discover Web sites with others who have similar interests.

Today, we've unveiled several changes that bring our mission of sharing and discovery to an even larger audience. For the first time ever, anyone can now Stumble the Web without having to register for StumbleUpon or download the StumbleUpon toolbar.

Are you a new visitor to StumbleUpon?

If this is your first time here, start by clicking through the Recommended Sites on our new Home page. If you'd rather begin with a single topic, choose one of the following categories:

Click one of the recommended sites, and a Stumble! button will appear in the upper left corner of your browser window.

• If you like the page, click the Stumble! button to save that site as a Favorite.
• To write a review that's visible to others, click the star icons
• To save your Favorites, click "Save Now"

To write a review or save your Favorites, you'll need to sign up for a free StumbleUpon membership.

Are you a StumbleUpon member?

Registered members enjoy all the benefits of StumbleUpon: a massive index of quality sites, freedom to interact with more than six million other Stumblers -- and now, there's some extra icing ton the cake!

To see what's new, join the Beta Group to access the new features:

These improvements include:

• All-new profile pages
• Improved navigation helps you move quickly across StumbleUpon
• All-new Review page makes it easier to find related content and members
• Rate and review sites using the Toolbar -- or the Web site!

The current version of the Web Toolbar will not save Stumbling history for registered members, but we hope to have that major improvement online soon.

We know you'll have plenty of feedback to share about these new features -- if you find bugs or unexpected behavior, let us know via our Feedback page, or join the Beta Group to interact with other members and StumbleUpon staffers.
