Well, now it is my turn, but with a little wrinkle.

My Goal: To create the ultimate list of articles about StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is my favorite social bookmarking site. It is a tremendously easy bookmarking tool and an great social site. I think that StumbleUpon has some of the best social features of any site. You can see what sites your friends like, send articles to your friends and send traffic to well deserving content.

How To Enter: There are two ways to enter and get a backlink.

1. Leave a comment listing one or more articles about StumbleUpon that you have written.

What You Get: If you participate, you get the following,

Please note that I reserve the right not to post to any spam sites or sites containing inappropriate material.

Update:   Please note that I am looking for articles about StumbleUpon, not articles that have been submitted to StumbleUpon.  As an attorney, I am embarrassed that I created this confusion.

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is the largest, most active social bookmarking site. According to Read/WriteWeb Del.icio.us has over 3 million users. That is awesome.

Del.icio.us was the first to dominate this market and will continue to do so for years. Who here uses Del.icio.us? I do. Here is where you can find my social bookmarks.

StumbleUpon

While Read/WriteWeb does not include an estimate for the number of user for StumbleUpon, my gut tells me that it is closing in on Del.icio.us. However, I don’t think that users view it as a social bookmarking site. I believe that users give a thumbs up to a site to give it more traffic, not to bookmark it for later reading.

How I Use Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon

I personally use StumbleUpon as a social bookmarking site because I find it super easy to save it. It is so easy to just click on the thumbs up button to save a site. I find it quicker than tagging something with Del.icio.us. However, if I think that I will want to find the article or site three months from now and not tomorrow, I always use Del.icio.us. The tagging feature makes it much easier to find something later.

Where will Social Bookmarking Go From Here?

To be honest with you, I don’t know. However, I know that people want easier ways to find friends with common interests, easier ways to show people cool sites, easier ways to create communities of people with common interests. If I has to predict, the social bookmarking sites will focus on these features.
