SU.PR – URL Shortening Service from Stumbleupon

Jayant — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:02:15 +0000

StumbleUpon announced an URL Shortner Service called SU.PR which has the Real time Stats and StumbleUpon Toolbar features built in along with the ability to post on Twitter and Facebook.

Http://su.pr – will take you to StumblesUpon’s private Beta for the upcoming Stumbleupon URL Shortner Service. However its not just any other URL Shortner. It adds StumbleUpon Toolbar features right into it. It is currently into private Beta Stage s you would have to request access and wait for it. Once access is granted and you can create a seperate account or us your existing StumblUpon username to login into it.

You can create a short version of your URL plus you can also

Post it on Twitter and Facebook with a short Message
Schedule to automatically post at a certain time
See stats about your link in Real time from your Su.pr account

But what most important change from other URL shortner services is that, when a user clicks on the SU.pr link, they are presented with the webpage which includes the StumbleUpon Tolbar. So in short they are encouraged to Like, Dislike, Stumble, Favorite and Comment on the Webpage.

In short SU.pr seems like a great service for StumbleUpon to get additional traffic via services like Twwiter where URL shortner are craze. However, lets hope StumbleUpon does not do the same mistake DiggBar did.

Stumble Upon no longer a part of Ebay

Jayant — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:20:00 +0000

Stumbleupon has been brought back by founder Garrett Camp and co-founder Geoff Smith together with some private investors. The reason for buy back was termed as no senergy between the two parties for the long term.

Between StumbleUpon, Digg and Delicious; I always favored StumbleUpon as it has an edge over bringing new media and sites to the visitor. Digg and Delicious are rather using push strategy where visitor try to discover more and more stuff in its niche, while StumbleUpon gives them a ncie oppurtunity to try other niches.

Let’s hope StumbleUpon comes up with more innovative features and do not follow the controversial path like its competitor Digg (aka the taboo Digg Toolbar).
