Yesterday I promised to try and get to the bottom of what this social bookmarking was all about and why it was of interest to webmasters... well to be honest I dont have all the facts but I think I'm starting to get somewhere.
There are many different social bookmarking sites including Stumble Upon. Stumble upon is like an extension to your 'favourites' in internet explorer where you can save websites and supply a review. However it doesn't stop there. Whereas your favourites on your computer are only on your computer, when you review a site with Stumble Upon your review becomes a part of the Stumble Upon site and community. You can think of Stumble Upon being a cross between a social network and an internet directory.
I'm going to start by giving a 'thumbs up' and review of my own sites and take it from there. You need to install the tool bar to start doing your own reviews. Once you've added your review (using your newly acquired toolbar) your site should have been added to the Stumble Upon directory. You can check here (you could try it by searching for www.cafepress.com/chessgifts)!
I also found two great articles about using Stumble Upon which you can see here: and here.
Tomorrow I will be investigating deeper into the world of Stumble Upon.
