I actually stumbled an article from just about every blog that was listed before my original comment and linked to a lot of them as well. My guess is that other people reading the comments on this blog stumbled your article as well. If you don't use stumbleupon, it's a good idea to sign up. Once you install it on your toolbar it's very easy to stumble good blog posts/articles/websites. @Brad,

I am rather new to Stumbleupon but will definately start stumbling more sites. Lately I have began commenting on other sites to show my appreciation. In the past I was just checking out my favorite sites on a daily basis and that was it. Thank you for your great insight.

Like the first commenter... 1, 4, and 5 are regulars for me. I quite like the SU service so I try to contribute to it too. I very rarely use delicious and I don't know that I've ever sent an email. Maybe today! Good call. Like the first commenter… 1, 4, and 5 are regulars for me. I quite like the SU service so I try to contribute to it too.
