What can you do with StumbleUpon for your online business?
Kristi Hines gives a great overview and insights a past post at Social Media Examiner – A guide to StumbleUpon.
Here are key topics covered for StumbleUpon success:

- How to Find Friends on StumbleUpon
- Notes on Receiving Shares
- Process: Sharing Etiquette
- Traffic Boosting: StumbleUpon Advertising
Not all businesses is necessarily a perfect fit, but you have a chance to not only test it, use it – but help create some new concepts and content ideas for your organization that could go “viral” (that’s the best-case scenario). Don’t run ads against a boring page – do something ‘different’. (how’s that for vague…)
