StumbleUpon becomes a larger Social Media Referrer
Competition is inevitable in all the fields in this world. Even the giant firms and organizations are not spared and sometimes become victims to failure when it comes to competing and being the first in the market. Even in the Internet, which is a relatively recent invention, the fight for the survival and being the best is very tough. The growth and usage of the Internet is incredibly and tremendously high in the past few years, though it is no more used for the actual purpose of the invention.
There are search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc to find out the web pages related to almost anything in the Internet. The most widely used search engine across the world is Google. Hundreds of millions of users use Google to search their requirement in the Internet on any day. It has become an inevitable part in the daily life. Google was almost enjoying monopoly in its business for the past few consequent years. But with the advent of Facebook, Google started facing its trouble. Though both are entirely different in its business Google is a search engine while Facebook is a networking site the revenue of Facebook beat Google recently due to the highest number of visitors and advertisers. We also have twitter - a social networking and micro blogging service which enables the users to read and send messages called tweets.
On top of all these different search engines and networking sites, we have yet another invention which is gaining huge popularity in the Internet - StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is a discovery engine, created by Christopher Welwood & Geoff Smith, which finds the best web pages about any topic and recommends them to its users. In StumbleUpon, one need not search and open many web pages related to the search before finding the right one which is normally the case in search engines. StumbleUpon suggests the best web pages related to our interests and the ones recommended by our friends. It is like browsing through only the pages which we like and which interests us. This is possible as it allows the users to rate their favorite web pages, photos and videos and recommends those to the friends.
The number of users of StumbleUpon has come up to a significant level. Users find it fun and useful to stumble in StumbleUpon as they can mention their topics of interests and get the best web pages related to the topic. A recent statistics also reveals that the share of social media referrals of StumbleUpon is greater than the Facebook or Twitter. So its evident that users prefer to get the best stuff without much difficulty. And this leads to the invention of more and more user-friendly and innovative services like StumbleUpon in the Internet.
StumbleUpon is the combination of search engine and networking. This new genre has definitely earned its place in the Internet. However, the innovative and useful inventions are not limited in this Internet world. Along with these search and discovery engines, we may, in near future, be provided with some other engines which surpass these by making our life more easy and fun-filled.
