Every time I publish a research paper on immigration or write an article for BusinessWeek or TechCrunch, the xenophobes rush out of their caves to launch mindless attacks. They fill the comment sections with bile, send me nasty emails and sometimes threaten to do me harm. I was convinced that my last BusinessWeek column on the Startup visa presented such a compelling argument that even these poor souls would support it. After all, this visa is about creating American jobs and moving innovation here which would otherwise happen in other countries.
We can boost the economy without any cost to taxpayers. But, no, logic doesn’t prevail with this crowd. I know we’re not always bringing in the best and brightest. Years later, technology which I invented formed the basis of a software company which employed over 1,000 people and changed the way enterprise client-server systems were built. Now let’s discuss the genius visa. Alex persuaded two friends to start a company in 1991.
Toolbarless StumbleUpon. Mitch Kapor’s Blog » Blog Archive » Stumble Upon. After six and a half years, I’m going to be ending my involvement with the Open Source Applications Foundation and the Chandler project. OSAF and Chandler will continue, as led by the extremely able Katie Parlante. You can read the official announcement on the Chandler Project blog. When I conceived of the project in 2001, I had high aspirations for an innovative Personal Information Manager built around an open source model. We invited Scott Rosenberg, who was embarking on a book about why software is hard to make, to be an embedded journalist on our journey. His account of OSAF’s formative years, Dreaming in Code, captures the big vision as well as the many struggles to realize the it.
Determined more than ever to produce something, we retrenched and cut back on the ambition level drastically. Since the release of Preview, there’s been a lot of soul searching around 543 Howard St. I’m proud of everyone who worked on the project, their persistence, and their contributions. StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is a commercial web discovery service that integrates peer and social networking principles with one-click blogging. The Toolbar system automates the collection, distribution and review of web content within an intuitive social framework, providing users with a browsing experience that resembles "channel-surfing" the web.
Users access the service via a browser toolbar; toolbar versions exist for Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite and Internet Explorer. StumbleUpon uses collaborative filtering (an automated process combining human opinions with machine learning of personal preference) to create virtual communities of like-minded websurfers.
Rating websites updates a personal profile (a blog-style record of rated sites) and generates peer networks of websurfers linked by common interest. These social networks coordinate the distribution of web content, such that users 'stumble upon' pages explicitly recommended by friends and peers. Tumbleupon.com/news.php.

Feature of the StumbleUpon toolbar uses hotlinking. In other words, you rely on someone else to host the image featured on your page. Many hosts object to hotlinking and act to prevent or discourage it. A convenient alternative is to use an image hosting service such as Imageshack, imgur, or AllYouCanUpload.
Some hosts have come to realise that stumblers are actually looking for interesting websites, so while hotlinking from blogs or other websites hardly ever produces actual visits to the hosting site, quite often a stumbler will use the hot link to visit the hosting site to see what else it has to offer.

Whatever you do, don't download StumbleUpon ! I'm telling you: this little Firefox extension is totally addictive - in between surfing random StumbleUpon sites and feeding your four-hour-a-day Wikipedia habit, you'll never get anything done. StumbleUpon is pretty neat actually (and it's not all that new, by the way - I found reviews stretching back to 2002). It's basically a Firefox extension that lets you rate and review websites and discover new sites based on what others recommend. It's sort of like a distributed version of Digg.com - I expect you could do something similar with del.icio.us , too. You could also compare it to music recommendation sites like Last.fm . So how does it work? The business model appears to be advertising on the main site.
I expected StumbleUpon to be an uninspired mashing of Digg, del.icio.us and every other social bookmarking site out there, with the exception that it's mainly browser-based.

StumbleUpon Continues To Impress. We hear a lot about digg, Slashdot and del.icio.us as traffic drivers for media websites and blogs. But one site that doesn't get enough props in this regard is StumbleUpon. In our recent Social Bookmarking Faceoff, we noted that StumbleUpon has the largest user base with 1,271,345 users. Its main rival in the space, del.icio.us, recently announced it had reached 1 million users. StumbleUpon is basically a browser plugin which makes it very easy to submit and vote on websites.
Simply download the plugin (Firefox or IE) and then click the "I like it! " icon to 'stumble' a webpage. Neil Patel, who has given me a lot of excellent advice about website optimization, recently wrote a post entitled How to get StumbledUpon. I can attest to the power of StumbleUpon - our most popular post over the past couple of months (according to my Google Analytics service) has been Top 10 Firefox Web 2.0 Add-ons.

Currently StumbleUpon has 1,375,696 users, according to its About page. Recently del.icio.us announced it had reached 1 million users. I grew even more curious about StumbleUpon's success after reading the comments on a recent post of ours, where a few StumbleUpon users left almost mystical comments about the product: "I became a Stumbler in order to learn more about the world [and] it has been invaluable", noted one commenter. To discover more about the mysterious StumbleUpon, I interviewed co-founder and Chief Architect Garrett Camp.
In this post, Garrett describes StumbleUpon as a "personalized content discovery" service and outlines how it has grown to the million plus users it has today. In other highlights, Garrett muses on the serendipity of SU and the "social interaction that emerges from using StumbleUpon". "[...] Site Reviews.
