Like I say, I do feel that Stumbleupon is a greatly underused tool and can offer fantastic results when used properly. Good luck with the marketing plan - I'd love to know how it goes!

I've been pulling my hair out over drafting an online media marketing plan for my company's online shopping portal. The tons of social media websites available seems like an ice-cream store with thousands of flavours - too much of a good thing, and I also feel like I'm being armed with thousands of shot pellets instead of the few sniper bullets I need. I've been using StumbleUpon for a while now, in a personal capacity, but this article casts it in a business spotlight. Very useful, and thank you for writing this. If the marketing plan works, I know who to thank. ;-) This is a great article. I’ve been pulling my hair out over drafting an online media marketing plan for my company’s online shopping portal.

You can either use it casually or in a more organized manner - both are as "right" as each other. :) Thanks Deb – that’s the great thing about SU.

I just use SU to find the cool sites about what I like (travel, writing, liberal politics) - now it appears I get more homework! Deb Danny,

There are a host of benefits available, some more effective than others, yet unfortunately Stumbleupon itself doesn't do a great job of offering ideas on how to utilize it best. Perhaps what's needed is for the social media companies to have their own PR or advisory gurus, offering tips and advice on how best to use a product? Then again, it's always the users that find the profitable niches and design advantages... :) I think that’s the biggest problem with SU (and other social media sites like it).
