ProBlogger Returned to StumbleUpon in Record Time!
Just saw this tweet from Darren. That was fast.
But Igor the Troll thinks it might have been a scam.
Either way, that was an amazingly short period of time for a reaction. Thanks to everyone who rallied. This proves how much things are changing.

Apparently the social media love-in was not appreciated. It’s all over now, though. Took about 15 minutes to get it reversed.

Not appreciated is a bit vague though, it’d be interesting to hear what their exact reason for the ban was, or if it was just some person’s arbitrary decision. I would expect a bit more criticism, instead of a “yay, it’s back, who cares what happened”, especially given the context of this site. If it had been anyone but Darren they would still be banned.

I agree, and you are not the first to point that out…there has been much of that on the micro-bloggers. That’s good. People need to remember that, because that feeling will make them remember to come to other people’s aid, who aren’t A-list.
As for Stumble’s reasons…Darren mentioned thinking it was because they thought he was gaming their system somehow…the huge influx of stumbles combined with a concentrated block of people friending each other.

I thought the social media event was well done. Bravo! As everyone in here knows, ” Space is only as deep as one makes it.” I have been a MSN kind of person for a couple of years and it is ok. Digg sucks, Facebook sucks, HiFive and all the creepy wanna be places suck. There is no content. That has value. Then again Google rocks.
I have had three pay checks from Google.
Just a thought. Space is only as deep as one makes it. As ever be well, Stephen Craig Rowe
