StumbleUpon Reaches Milestone
by Frank Jovine on 05/20/2010 in SEO, Social Networking
StumbleUpon reaches 10 million users as of May 17, 2010. This is double the amount of users than in April 2008. The 10 millionth user was Nellzom who is from Colombia.
It’s a great milestone, but how many users are still active? StumbleUpon was a giant back in 2004 in the social network space and now with Facebook and Twitter as the King and Queen, it seems that StumbleUpon has lost its popularity.
StumbleUpon is still going strong even though it has some heavy competition. According to StatCounter, a popular analytics website, StumbleUpon still out paces Twitter, Reddit and Digg when it comes to driving traffic to websites.
StumbleUpon by the Numbers – In a recent blog post at StumbleUpon, the company also shared some interesting stats:
- 118% growth rate in active users since 2009
- 5.4 billion recommendations since April 2009
- In March 2010 alone, half a billion recommendations
- StumbleUpon users stumble links 25 times a day on average
- Users of the Mozilla add-on stumble something 400 times a month on average
- Over 100,000 Facebook fans
You can now add 10 million users to the list. Congrats StumbleUpon!
What’s next for SU?

That is so awesome. 10 million users is not easy feat. But then we have to realize that there are lot of spammers in StumbleUpon. LOL!

Every social network has spammer and there’s no way of controlling it 100 percent. If you look at Twitter, mostly all of it is spam.
