Changes at StumbleUpon

December 20, 2007

I’ve been noticing a few changed at SU.  They’ve added a related videos section (not sure when this happened, but I just noticed it) on the right side of site reviews and a screen cap at the top of the site review. 

I like the idea of the screen cap because there are times when I have reviewed a page, then gone back at a later date and it’s a different image or different content (sneaky spammers). 

The related videos is eh-okay I suppose.  I have yet to click on one, but time will tell if I get any use out of that.  I have noticed that each time I’ve refreshed the page, the videos stay the same.

The other change that I’m not fond of is they reduced the amount of displayed users that liked a site from 40 to 35. 

I don’t really understand why they did this?  40 was not enough IMO.  I think if anything show me more if not all of them.  Part of networking on SU is meeting people with common interests.  If 100 people thumbed my site up, maybe I want to friend them or send them a message, but SU will only display 35 for some reason.
