Tips & Warnings
The more you browse the Internet using the StumbleUpon toolbar to locate new web pages, the more likely it is that other StumbleUpon users will follow your recommendations.
Don't give a "Thumbs Up" to a web page that isn't useful or interesting just to improve your ratings on StumbleUpon. This causes you to lose credibility and make it less likely that anyone will follow your recommendations.
