StumbleUpon - The Most Popular Social Bookmarking Site for (Pro)Bloggers
In the last ProBlogger reader poll I asked readers about their social bookmarking habits - more specifically to tell us about their favorite social bookmarking site.
Just under 1300 readers have voted to this point and the results look like this:
StumbleUpon wins quite convincingly with 31% of all responses (or if you subtract the ‘I don’t use any’ responses SU is a 38% slice of the total pie). I’ve included some reasons given by readers as to why they like StumbleUpon below.
Delicious and Digg were closer with 21% and 19% of the total vote.
What did surprise me a little was the 19% of those responding who don’t use social bookmarking. I guess it’s become such a normal and natural part of my own day that I forget that quite a few readers don’t get into it.
Lastly, on the ‘Other’ section of the pie - a few readers told us about their ‘other’ selections but none attracted more than 2 votes so I have not given them any category of their own. Those that did get the 2 votes were BloggingZoom, Sphinn and Sk*rt.
