If you logged in to your StumbleUpon account today and things look different, you are seeing the new and improved StumbleUpon, designed to be simpler, more social and searchable. Switching between Old and New SU For the next month or so, you will be able to switch back and forth between the old and the new look.To switch back to the old look, simply click on the "Beta" link located on the main navbar (see image below) and on the following screen click the "Leave Beta" button. To return to the new interface, use the link "Click here and try the new StumbleUpon! " located at the top of all pages in the old view (as shown in image below). You will be able to continue using the old interface until early December, when we plan to transition all users to the new StumbleUpon. Getting Help If you need help getting around the new StumbleUpon, we've put together a few easy-to-use help resources: An FAQ for the new interface A guide on the new StumbleUpon User Profile A tutorial on Friends and Subscription in the new SU In addition to that, we have a community-powered forum, providing real-time answers to any questions you may have.We hope you found this helpful and are really excited to hear your thoughts on the new StumbleUpon!~ The SU Team 2009-10-28T18:20:44-08:00 http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/friendsv4/ http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/friendsv4/#When:00:17:35Z Stumblers, We've released some changes to the social relationship system, to help you transition to the new StumbleUpon.

Simpler: Our goal was to make the site and the StumbleUpon Add-on easier to use and more intuitive for visitors and users.  We’ve improved site navigation, and navigation within User Profiles, to make it easier and faster to find what you’re looking for. We also think it just looks a lot nicer. Searchable: We’ve enhanced Search using community ratings and reviews.   Now you’ll have the ability to Search either within your favorites, your friend’s favorites, or the entire site to discover more specific pages on a topic. More Social: We’ve made it easier for you to find the people you know (your real-life friends) on StumbleUpon and have made it possible to find people who have similar interests that live close to you.  Plus, you can get nearly real-time updates from the people you are subscribed to, served in your Recent Activity page (formerly What’s New).To access the new StumbleUpon from your current Profile page, go to http://www.stumbleupon.com/trynow/. We are planning to permanently transition to the new StumbleUpon in the next month and will send more gentle reminders as the date draws near. We’d love to hear your feedback, questions or suggestions.  If you have already switched to the new StumbleUpon, please use the new “Feedback” tab, located on the right side of all SU pages.  You can also check out our FAQ page where we answer common questions about the updates.We hope you enjoy the new StumbleUpon!-gmc News 2009-10-08T19:13:35-08:00 http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/mozbar_338/ http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/mozbar_338/#When:18:20:01Z The StumbleUpon toolbar for Firefox continues to be one of our users' favorites. The latest version of the add-on makes Stumbling even easier by simplifying the menus and adding a number of frequently requested features. What's new in the latest version? Upgrade your StumbleUpon toolbar for Firefox to benefit from the following new options: Shorter toolbar, yay! By popular demand, we condensed some of the buttons on the toolbar so it occupies less space in your browser and makes it easier to use the most popular buttons. We added Report Spam and Duplicate Content to the thumbs-down menu to help improve the quality of your Stumbles.   Read more in our Online Help on how to make the best use of these new toolbar options. All Stumble Channels are now grouped under the All button.  If you want to use specific Stumble channels like StumbleThru, Stumbling in your favorite topics or through other Stumblers' favorites, you can find all these options and more under All. Post your favorite sites to Twitter and Facebook straight from the toolbar! The "Share" menu now allows you to easily post sites you like to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, via Su.pr. We hope that these new features will improve your Stumbling and make it even easier to discover and share the best online content! ~ The StumbleUpon Team 2009-07-31T18:20:01-08:00 http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/supr_release/ http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/supr_release/#When:19:49:27Z About a month ago, we announced the Beta release of Su.pr, the first URL-shortening service that exposes your posts to Twitter, FaceBook and StumbleUpon simultaneously.  Starting today, Su.pr is available for all StumbleUpon registered members! Key Benefits: URL-shortening. Simultaneous posting to Twitter and FaceBook. Ability to schedule your posts (we even recommend optimal times based on your previous posting activity). Real-time stats on your posts (such as clicks, retweets, StumbleUpon traffic). Every Su.pr link launches Web Stumbling—making it easier to share and discover StumbleUpon content. Advanced publisher tools like an API, bookmarklet for quick posting of your Su.pr links, WordPress plugin and the option to get short URLs on your own domain. Su.pr is linked to your existing StumbleUpon account. If you are not a member already, the Su.pr homepage will prompt you to create an account. We hope Su.pr makes it easier and faster to share great web content!~ The StumbleUpon Team 2009-07-08T19:49:27-08:00 http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/stumbleupon_launches_supr/ http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/stumbleupon_launches_supr/#When:14:01:57Z Su.pr - Share your favorites beyond StumbleUpon!

We have now released several major enhancements that bring us closer to that goal: Fully Personalized Experience — Now you can expect the same high-quality and personalized recommendations that you receive from your downloaded toolbar.  And you can access it from any computer, and from any browser... just visit StumbleUpon.com and login to get a personalized stumbling experience. Web Stumbling syncs with your toolbar activity — Use Web Stumbling to rate, review and share content. All your activities will be saved for you in your profile and will influence your future recommendations. For example, Web Stumbling in Safari, Chrome or Opera would use ratings you gave when using the Firefox or IE toolbars, and anything you rate will improve your recommendations on any platform. Enhancements to Sharing — When sharing websites while Web Stumbling, you now have the ability to share with several friends at once, post sites directly to your Facebook profile, and even have conversations with your friends about the websites you shared with them. To easily access Web Stumbling, bookmark the toolbar: http://www.stumbleupon.com/toolbar/. We hope these enhancements make Stumbling more accessible for you — and make it even easier to discover the best of the web! ~ The StumbleUpon Team 2009-04-27T22:09:26-08:00 http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/stumbleupon_is_a_start_up_again/ http://stumbleupon.com/sublog/stumbleupon_is_a_start_up_again/#When:18:49:36Z After nearly two years as a subsidiary of eBay, today StumbleUpon returns to being an independent company.   StumbleUpon is now backed by myself and co-founder Geoff Smith, along with several great investors who’ve backed companies such as Google and Facebook.This change will help StumbleUpon move quickly and stay true to its focus - helping people discover interesting web content.  Our goal is to make StumbleUpon the web’s largest recommendation engine and we think this is the best way to get us there.
