I believe that users give a thumbs up to a site to give it more traffic, not to bookmark it for later reading.

Actually that’s what I do too. I thumb up a site but I do not expect to be able to find it 3 months later because SU does not have the ability to allow their users to search through the sites that they have thumbed up.

I wonder if anybody has any idea how we can do that — look for a particular site among those that we have given a thumb’s up. Is there a search function in SU that allows us to do that?

Interesting, though I have to admit that I never would have thought of StumbleUpon as social bookmarking. I tend to hit the thumbs up and then forget all about it – I just use it as a way of relaxing at the end of the day. If I do find something I want to save then I bookmark, but I dont use SU to do it.
