I go on Stumbleupon a lot. I have been on it enough for it to learn what I like, now every time I click the stumble button, I find something awesome! It never fails to surprise me.
Simply put, Stumbleupon has no sense of context. My selected interest of "comedy" was so broad I was getting everything from lame puns to dead baby jokes. What finally made me delete it was when I stumbled something called 'dark humor' that was mostly people making violent rape jokes and using the N word more times in a few pages than I'd seen in my whole life put together. A few minutes after that my interest in "video games" directed me to an article by a frothing-at-the-mouth neckbeard literally entitled "$#*! Diversity". Unless this is the sort of content you're interested in I'd give Stumbleupon a miss.

I was trying to sign up and it took over a minute to query email and username availability. Then, I picked my interests and hit next, so the page timed out (funny funky page to display errors) and then send me back to pick interests once again. Workflows are very poor. Using New Relic but not taking advantage of the tool. Very Slow!
This site is a scam. I recently received a phone number for my new business -- a brewpub. Googling that number sent me to Stumbleupon's site (they are very good at SEO). From there the first 7 out of 8 listings were for a locksmith nearby with a totally different number.
When I called that business, they claimed to have no idea how this happened. For giggles, I entered another phone number with the same prefix, reversing the first and last numbers of the remainder. Exactly the same result.
These clowns apparently squat on unused phone #s and thereby mislead people to websites they are not interested in. Very shady.
I was looking for an interesting website that would give me a lot of information that I could browse through and enjoy. I liked it at first and it was very interesting but you have to download the toolbar and it really screwed up my Toshiba Laptop.
I recently joined stumbleupon.com and within 3 days they had banned my account. No email, no notification why what so ever. So I reached out to them via email. Almost a week and half later they responded. He claimed my account was locked and wouldn't be unlocked and their reasoning was I was using my personal account to promote a business and this violated their ToS. Now this is a lie. I do run my own tech blog, technelogos.com/blog. What I did do was followed my blog on stumbleupon.com, with other stuff as well. My blog is not a business in any way, shape or form. I tried for 3 weeks to get back in touch with them. No response what so ever. Meanwhile they still had my information on their servers. So I wrote multiple emails trying to get my account unlocked and never got one response back. Finally I tweeted to them asking for them to get my account deleted. It still hasn't happened. This company has forgotten that customers are what pays your bills and your salary. Companies that forget that soon are out of business. Stay away from stumbleupon.com, their a joke.
Why did they "improve" this site? Now every time I want to book mark something cool I stumbled upon, instead of giving me the url, it's a stumbledupon.com url.
It's not what it used to be. Sad.
Stumbleupon.com is pretty much an overwhelming mess if you haven't gotten in on it at the ground level. I recently joined and, although I love discovering new and interesting websites, I didn't even know where to start. There are so many websites arranged on one page that it feels like clutter. The one thing that I do like is that the genres of music are broken up so that I can find the best rated indie music sites without much work.
