StumbleUpon still uses open source tools



StumbleUpon was aquiried by eBay in 2007 still uses open source tools, and the philosophy mission remains the same just only put up the number of the staff to 30 peoples,in this case the aquisition was a benefit for the service in order to absorb the eBay experience and resource also find better pricing from suppliers so that he can acquire hardware faster and cheaper than before thanks to eBay.Integrate Stumble to eBay is not future plan for company , the primary objective is content discovery, while bookmarking is a side effect.But in last month i see some change like for example less focus about photos an more live review , can be a mix became a twitterupon?
Whatever the web support discovery still the first goal for Stumble and the first action still "the more sites you rate, the more StumbleUpon learns about you", meaning that the sites it Stumble! are closely matched to your interests based on the sites approved from people like you.
That’s about all the info i have if you are really Stumble addict visit my page here.
