I agree that it is impersonal, but it can be fixed. The whole question is – how can they fix it? Everyone likes a place where people participate and interact. Now they just have to make the changes on their end.

That’s an interesting viewpoint Jeremy. I never looked at it that way before, but you gave me a different outlook of what StumbleUpon is intended to be.

I think that this misses the point a little of what stumble upon is. It really exists outside of the conscious connection. My tag-line is something along the lines of “making the collective unconscious a little more conscious” because that what it does.

I like this question. I feel like I use the StumbleUpon toolbar in a really casual way. I give the "thumb up" to pages I like, and don't pay much mind to who will care that I'm doing it. I would say that it's much more impersonal, but not unfixable. It will have to come from their end with the interface and features that they offer. Adam @Advent Creative Web Design
