I send stuff to my husband all the time. I've started to send stuff (not too often, mind you) to some of my marketing friends *if* I think they'll like it. When they do and give it a thumbs up - it spreads faster over SU. You can see it in the traffic results. I love this feature. I send stuff to my husband all the time.

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 22:55:07 +0000 http://www.chrisg.com/sharing-a-site-with-your-stumbleupon-friends/#comment-5178 I'm still weary of social bookmarking sites like SU, because they seem ripe for abuse. I tried using Digg, but then became frustrated that only a few Digg users actually made an impact on which links made the front page. But I've been hearing more and more about SU, so maybe it's worth a look. Great post! Thanks! I’m still weary of social bookmarking sites like SU, because they seem ripe for abuse.

I make sure not to abuse it, so I send only what I think it's best. After a while, you get to know which of your friends enjoy getting those pages and which ones are most probable to stumble them. However, some people forget they added me as a friend. I once sent a page to somebody, and I got a message back: this is cool, but who are you and why did you send it to me?

The only times I have had pages sent were when they were articles/website launches that needed a quick initial jolt. If you just think it's something interesting, chances are your friend will notice it on their "What's New" page after you give it a nice review. If my StumbleUpon friends started sending me pages every day, or even every week, I would probably consider dropping them. Save it for something important.

It's amazing how many people do not know about this link. But will spreading the word mean we are inundated with requests? I expect my friends on stumble to send me requests, so if anyone is in my network, send me the pages :) Thanks for the link Chris. It’s amazing how many people do not know about this link.
