After New StumbleUpon Redesign this Beta version is look alike Pinterest. StumbleUpon added more features like Trending page, Add List feature, StumbleUpon DNA, activity. Last year StumbleUpon made a major re-designed to his website, which was effective and at the same time not so user friendly. Stumbling and sharing is heck for new users as well as old users. The amount of traffic decreased – the new paid discovery took place. At first we got 60% of traffic from them and it reduced (now we tackled that with Organic Search), for the reason you can share your content to your followers that easily like the old StumbleUpon page.

Recently there was an update which mentioned by them as “StumbleUpon Beta 2012“, at first it looked awesome then i got a feel of “pinterest“(sure it will be good in terms of sharing – but Share to all feature is not available). If you are new StumbleUpon then you might love to know how it looked before and then compare with your new designs.

StumbleUpon DNA

This feature is like Facebook Mutual Friends and a quick way to see what you and other Stumblers have in common.Your Stumble DNA is a representation of your Likes you did for the community. Every time we stumble randomly or particular interest upon our mind. so if you are very much into Psychology or Funny Animals then the meter shows a large percentage of them in your profile. Which will be a great understanding for your new users to know more about you and you can join with the other stumblers from the same kind.


Hope you got some idea about the new beta version, if you like you can switch to new version and in labs you can give feedback about the new design and if you don’t like them you use your previous version, by unchecked the Lab option. We love the Share Popup option to share – but they would have added select all option. what if we have 12K followers ?.
