I suspect that many marketers jumped ship on SU after finding that SU traffic was harder and harder to come by. If one of the big draws of a social network is traffic, marketers will follow the traffic. There's also SU's bad to nonexistent self-patrolling where predatory and sometimes libelous thumbs-downers are concerned -- some people were banned who shouldn't have been, and some who love to smear others remain untouched. I'm not convinced SU has "jumped the shark" completely. I will cast a vote, wholeheartedly, for the idea that it's got growing pains - and what online thing doesn't. Hell, 90% of what I do every day hasn't been around longer than a gradeschool kid. From the page: "I remember feeling so emotional to meet such amazing StumbleUpon friends. Now I haven't been there for pleasure, networking or day-to-day communication in months."

LinkedIn is a proud, steady and growing property. It's a brave new socially wired world baby...Did eBay (owners of SU) bet on the wrong colored troll-laced horse-StumbleUpon? Perhaps... At the end of the day, SU just might be what happens when a promising social site a) let's trolls abuse users b) doesn't build an API c) thinks they're "all that."
