Stumbleupon Redesign Makes The Site Simpler And More Attractive
Back in the days when I began using Stumbleupon I always thought that the website itself was a bit messy. Plus there was not really a good search to find websites related to topics that you were looking for. This has changed with the recent redesign of the Stumbleupon website. An account is still required to use the service but that's the only requirement. The new design looks clear and bright but what it sets apart from the previous one is the usability.
Once you are logged in you have access to three main areas (discover, favorites, stumblers) and several account related options in the header. Discover displays new websites based on criteria like popularity, rating or topics selected by the Stumbleupon user.
The favorites section contains the listing of all websites that have been added to Stumbleupon by the user. It is also the place to add a new website to the service.Stumblers finally displays a list of friends, visitors and other information related to other Stumbleupon members.
It is still possible to stumble upon new websites by clicking on the stumble button in the main interface. Everything feels more natural and in place after the redesign. Head over to Stumbleupon if you want to check out the new features.
Update: The company behind the popular discovery and sharing service Stumbleupon has launched another redesign of the service's website. The new homepage shows logged in users liked contents from their friends, channels and interests. It is now also easier to search past likes. All you need to do for that is visit your profile page and use the search your likes form to do that.
New users and old users who did not use the service for some time see now a Site Tour when they log in again which takes them by the hand to highlight core site features.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
