StumbleUpon is one of the most important social media website and is a great place to score a ton of traffic to your blog, blog posts, web site and web pages. StumbleUpon is no different with other social media websites like Digg, Reddit and Mixx etc etc, you have to thumb up the pages you like and thumb down those which you don’t like. Play around your profile and make friends who match your interests.
While SumbleUpon has been very good for me so far and I personally prefer SU over some other social media websites, but the only thing which SU was lacking was a feature to share your favorite posts with your friends collectively, as you normally send a shout to your friends on Digg.
In SU, until now what you would have to do to share something with your friends is to send the page to your friends one by one from the SU toolbar.
Finally SU has introduced this quick sharing feature to save us a lot of time, what you need to do is to browse to your Favorites, and hover your mouse over the thumbnail of any of your favorite post, you will see a Share link appearing in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail as shown in the graphic below.
Click on that link and a new Share this dialog will appear in the right side of the window containing all of your SU friends. Now from this dialog you can select either to send your post to all of your friends or to some selected ones. Below is a text box in which you can type an optional message. After that Press Share now button and Voila ! you are done with sharing your favorite post with your friends with few clicks.
And what else, if you have an account on Facebook then you can share it there as well, there is a small button with Facebook icon, as shown in the above graphic click on that button and it will open a new window, where you will be able to post this favorite item in your facebook profile.
With the inclusion of this feature I am sure StumbleUpon has proved once again that it will remain a step ahead in the pool of Social Media websites.
