If you write an informative article - well you can't submit it yourself, and if your readers don't (espcially if you have small readership), it will never appear in stumble. On the other hand, if you're a spammer, you'll just keep switching accounts so you can submit your own stuff. Result: StumbleUpon fills up with advert-ridden dross, and actually ends up filtering out honest people trying to promote decent blogs. Stumble need to start filtering what gets submitted - some kind of reputation system perhaps? StumbleUpon is stagnating as a result of their submission policies.

I use this program every day. hopefully the right company will pick it up and make it even better than it is. i don’t think they had a clue what to do with this awesome program.
