The Stumbleupon devs were pioneers of what's happening to social media now.
We're not making money. Should we add advertising? Nope Should we require a subscription fee? Nope.
The problem is all these people using CSS to curate their finds on the web. This is NOT a blog (even though there was a button that said 'stumbleblog it').
Ohhh noooo, this is about the stumble button and nothing else (the button I no longer used much because other people's content was a faster way to find cool shit).
Now, we're going to wipe all of your work out and make this about THE BUTTON.
Every curator on the site bails, leaving only the turnips trying to use Stumble for SEO wank.
And that's how you destroy a good thing. I love how they're out there still trying to make their version work.
Hmm, let's see. Things'll get better if we change the name to Mix. We'll get lots more people to try our crap.
3 people show up.
I'm still mad about that. If they had asked me to pay for a subscription, I would have.
smh
