What Were The Most Popular StumbleUpon Photos and Videos of 2011?

Neil Vidyarthi — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:27:11 +0000

If I was pressed to answer, I’d probably say StumbleUpon was the first social aggregator site I ever used regularly. Even before Digg, I had a little StumbleUpon toolbar which had just one big button which read “Stumble!”. Each time I’d hit it, I was provided with a new interesting page from the web that other Stumblers had picked as a favorite. It was also one of the first places that my first blog posts went viral. I wrote a little tirade about how Microsoft Live Messenger had jumped the shark, and Stumblers went crazy for it.

There are many ways to gauge the strength of a social network: users, page views, monthly active users and time spent per page are all effective. One that I like to look at is referrals, which look at how often a social network is sourcing a link to great content. For instance, if a blog post goes viral and gets 100,000 views overnight, it’s interesting to look at the breakdown and see where all the viewers came from. Netmarketshare is a company that tracks this type of data, and their November outlook has revealed that Google+ is losing its power to refer content.
