Using Social Bookmarking For Your Business: StumbleUpon
What is it?
StumbleUpon is a social media bookmarking site that allows users to keep all of their favorite sites they stumble upon in one place. Similar to Digg and Delicious, StumbleUpon allows you to search in categories of News, Photos, Videos, Arts, Business, Computers, Health, Fun, Lifestyle, Music, Science, Sports and Technology. You can also search for specific articles and filter them by tags.
Who uses it?
Like most social bookmarking sites, the majority of StumbleUpon users are people who constantly search and sift through content online. Easy usability and downloadable toolbars and widgets make this site easy to use to everyone.
Benefits in Internet Marketing
StumbleUpon provides another place for your content to be delivered online. With each blog written for your company’s Web site, each separate URL can be posted on StumbleUpon. People are also able to write reviews of each site on StumbleUpon. In addition to those benefits, you are allowed to tag and place your page into categories, putting it in the same category as related pages. Finally, use StumbleUpon like you would any social bookmarking site to search what the current trends are in your industry to better equip yourself with what your clients need.
How to sign up
Registering for StumbleUpon requires a valid e-mail address and a username and password. You will also be prompted to provide your gender and birthday. After that, simply post your articles and start looking for reviews.
