I often show social discovery wonder StumbleUpon in presentations to demonstrate the alternative forms of site discovery emerging on the web. To this point, I’ve just been an interested observer and occasional Stumbler.
No longer. Some influential soul discovered TechnoCloud and gave it the thumbs up to recommend it to other users. Cue a relative flood of traffic to the site.
Having enjoyed some brief spurts of traffic via Digg and Reddit in the past, the Stumblers seem a slightly different breed. Rather than the crash and burn mentality of leaving at the first click, Stumblers stayed longer and actually read some additional pages to see just why some of their fellow Stumblers thought it worthy of a thumbs up.
(It should be pointed out that this is partly due to a thumbs up for the homepage rather than a specific page, but I think the point still stands.)
See the record day in the chart below and happy Stumbling!

stumbling is just not for a day – as long as fellow stumblers continue to enjoy the content. interesting chart.
