StumbleUpon has a New Design
StumbleUpon has redesigned it’s website completely and released it on Monday with a brand new Logo, design and most importantly Channel feature particularly for web site owners, businesses and brands.
“Really this is the biggest refresh in terms of look and feel that we’ve ever had on the web,” StumbleUpon CEO Garrett Camp told Mashable.
Previously it was a Facebook look a like design which is completely modified now with hell loads of features. StumbleUpon is a website which shows posts from various websites based on your interests. Not every update is posted to you but only specific ones which you might be interested in are calculated by the SU Algorithms.
Basic homepage of StumbleUpon (After Re-Design)
You can simply log in with your Facebook account into the website instead of registering with a new account again. The new profile page looks like this below
“Users had the expectation that they would see an individual acting on good will to share a piece of content rather than a for-profit company promoting a piece of content for selfish reasons,” Camp says. “Now we have a place where it’s ok for users to publish their own things.”
In addition to giving brands and publications a home on StumbleUpon, Channels fit in nicely with the platform’s recent trend toward specificity. The Explore Box, which allows users to Stumble a specific topic rather than a broad category, took the number of StumbleUpon interest verticals from about 500 to more than 500,000. With Channels, users can drill down further — to specific publications, celebrities and brands.
The verdict of the new design for me is it is beautiful and attracts me to use SU from now on.
