When I see a large spike in traffic on several of my blogs, I don’t even have to check the logs to know that there’s a good chance it’s folks coming via StumbleUpon (SU).
SU discovers Web sites based on your interests and keeps track of the pages you like in order to deliver similar content. While the ’stickiness’ of the traffic sent by SU is definitely questionable, most Web site owners are happy for the extra traffic.
What good would a recommendation engine be in mid-2009 with being Twitter-friendly? A step in the right direction for SU is Su.pr, a URL-shortening service that the site will help bolster its popularity. It’s currently in closed beta, so hang tight. Continue reading: Su.pr Links Come to StumbleUpon

Since I’m a fan of irony, something about this post makes me want to copy and paste it directly from someone elses blog and post it here. Of course, I’m too much of a karma watcher to engage in such deviant behavior. But the same can’t be said for other bad bloggers. In fact, I’ve had to spank quite a few crooks recently who thought it was OK to just rip and run with content I had busted my butt on. Unacceptable!
Here to help bloggers and Website owners out is Plagium, a simple free tool allows you paste any text and see if it’s been lifted from somewhere else on the Web. Editors rejoice! Continue reading: Defend Your Written Work With Plagium
