That is, it didn't: it grew larger, instead. Seriously, it's not about the tool, it's about the people. If spammers are not reported, everyone leaves. If great stuff is shared more easily, everyone wins. SU killed itself the same way Digg killed itself, when it had a share option.

Seriously, it’s not about the tool, it’s about the people. If spammers are not reported, everyone leaves. If great stuff is shared more easily, everyone wins.

Suppose you inbox in full and when someone send you any thing then he /she have to face the INBOX_ERROR. Rest is ok with the SU as i'll suggest to make your profile informative and spam free.

It was simple and easy...period. I haven't tried to connect with all kinds of people through SU...I dont even want to. If there is something relevant that i feel someone else should know about i send them the link in email...or their preferred social networking app. Maybe i'm just too old school, but i like things simple and i hate wasting time, especially for what i consider to be leisure activity. SU should stick to the primary functionality and leave the social aspects to other better qualified tools.

It's rather ridiculous and very frustrating. It's one thing to be sent relevant sites... and a completely different thing when they have nothing to do with your interests, etc. I've been taking the time to remove the spammers from my SU account...

About 25 from just 3 users. It will be taken over by the spammers for sure. I got 37 stumble referrals today. About 25 from just 3 users. It will be taken over by the spammers for sure.

Zupan Tue, 17 Mar 2009 23:43:34 +0000 http://www.openjason.com/?p=339#comment-801 Jason - Really enjoyed your article. It is well written and well thought out. I like stumble as well, and have seen the new addition to the program (although I have yet to use it). Your points are well made and it is definitely possible that it could cause some short term effects. However, I do believe that after a little time - the Stumble Team will figure out a way to curb out the garbage before we all get inundated with it. Maybe we also just need to be more selective of who we follow and seek to be friends with in Stumble. As for me I like to find people that have a few articles that I enjoy or search on the internet and then revisit them specifically to see if they have anything new. Great job and keep up the thought provoking articles. Jason – Really enjoyed your article. It is well written and well thought out.
