Now You Can Stumble Upon Your Favorite Sites Without Using Any StumbleUpon Toolbar Add Ons!
I finally figured out how to get StumbleUpon integrated into Flock without installing the resource heavy StumbleUpon toolbar. Firefox Facts has found a bookmarklet which can easily be used to Stumble Upon any website you want! All you have to do is click on the “Stumble This!” bookmarklet link and drag it up to your browser’s bookmark bar. Then click on it whenever you want to Stumble Upon a site.
I’m completely in love with StumbleUpon right now and I can definitely see the potential this social networking service has to drive targeted traffic to my sites. The key is to use StumbleUpon the way it was meant to be used and not just to spam your own links. I’ll be posting more StumbleUpon tips and tricks in the future to help you learn how to take advantage of this free traffic source!
P.S. Oh yeah, I found another cool Flock feature: It automatically adds Technorati tags to your posts!

Flock: The New Social Web Browser
I’ve been using this cool new social web browser for the past few days. It’s called Flock and it’s like Firefox on steroids! It works with all of the top social sites including Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, del.icio.us, and plenty more. There’s a Facebook people bar which shows all of your friends and their status updates. There’s also a YouTube bar, a built-in feed reader, a web clipboard and an easy to use photo uploader. Plus it has this really hot interface:
But my favorite Flock feature is the blog editor. Maybe you will see more updates from me now that I have this handy blog editor right here in my web browser. I guess we’ll see, huh? I do wish that it had a built-in image uploader and the ability to add or edit categories, but since this is only version 1.1, I can live without those things for now.
