A blogger I recently found via Facebook shares his story about StumbleUpon. I can attest that StumbleUpon is a great source of traffic. A site I consult for saw roughly 4k new visitors come to their site in about 4 days time. The real goal is keeping these visitors around and keeping them involved in the site.
One cool thing to do to help market your sites is to take part in StumbleUpon Groups in Facebook.
I’ve just started doing this and I find some pretty cool things by networking with fellow Stumblers.
Lately I’ve been really trying my best to wrap my head around Facebook, mostly because I’m in the process of working on a few local community sites and I think Facebook is a great way to reach out to these folks. So I was intrigued to read Mashable’s latest on how to make money on Facebook.

I’m heading north to Lake Mary Ronan to go fishing tommorow. I plan to catch some fish and relax on a lake that is home to more memories than I can even count. I spent every summer for 6 years here.
One of the things every Online Publisher needs is a break. I’m in need of one already. i’ve put in a lot of hours this week in development,planning, and strategy. I’m in the process of working on two growing business and I’m putting in 12-14 hour days to get it done.
I think I deserve it.

As usual my favorite video blogger and pal Loren Feldman doesn’t disappoint in standing up to the whole Blogging is supposed to be about making people like me approach that so many folks these days are signing up for.
Truthfully without a dissenting voice we’d all be walking around using the word Fuhrer much more often. Not that saying the world Mr. President is all that much better these days.
The Celebrity Web Publishing Industry is a messy one. There are literally thousands of celebirty gossip tabloids online and the competition is fierce. Tabloid Baby gets to sit down and analyze the inner workings of TMZ as the TMZ TV Launch gets nearer.
Why is TMZ, the corporate gossip and porn-pushing site, getting so aggressive, antogonistic and ugly with celebrities as it nears its premiere as a syndicated series for Fox?
Last week, the nasty AOL/Time-Warner site directed several obscenity-filled taunts toward CSI actor Gary Dourdan after a scuffle with one of the kids with cameras that TMZ hires to taunt celebrities outside nightspots. Today, its target is Matt Dillon, a veteran actor and paparazzi subject not known for scuffles with the pros:
“Matt Dillon isn’t familar with how TMZ treats people who like to hit…” the site threatenes today in a post called “Dillon Pulls a Dourdan.” With its usual base language, it accuses the actor of having “walked right up to a TMZ photog in New York this weekend and smacked the s**t out of his camera.
“What’s he so pissed about? It was the public that had to endure ‘You, Me and Dupree’!”
Whether the site’s producers are looking for attention or throwing down the gauntlet to Hollywood isn’t clear. What’s very clear is its low-paid amateur stalkerazzi are approaching if not crossing a line with performers who are used to the lens but are apparently being egged on to react.

I remember when I first tried out Videoblogging, it was a major process. Today Mobile Networks are making it easier to videoblog than ever before. Verizon Wireless is leading the charge making it simple to upload videos directly to YouTube via SMS.
Verizon Wireless is claiming that they are the first provider in the country to allow customers to “record video with their wireless phones and upload the videos directly to YouTube.” Well, that’s not the whole statement. While they’re not exactly the first to let you upload videos to YouTube on the go, Verizon goes on to say that they are the first to let you do it “using an easy to remember number - YTUBE (98823), which is the shortcode for uploading videos to YouTube.”
