    I didn't notice a difference, actually I didn't even know they'd sold it to ebay.

    I disagree with wobinidan. There is a great way to monetize SU that will provide an awesome service to small businesses everywhere and offer what their users won't mind seeing: extremely targeted advertising on niche specific content pages. See http://www.growmap.com/twitter-advertising/ for more details. (Ignore the name; I wrote this post when eBay owned SU and I suggested that SU almost did it right and perhaps Twitter, FriendFeed, cliKball or some other Social Networking site should consider emulating what they used to do.

    They bought it back? What the hell were they thinking? There's no way to make SU profitable without pushing sponsored stumbles down your throat every 5 clicks. They should have taken the money and run.

    From the page: Want a geeky way to chill out after a long work day of focus, focus, focus? There are few better ways online to keep the synapses lubricated than through the semi-serendipity of social sharing service StumbleUpon. Now you can Stumble outside of the shadow of the mega-corporate overlords at eBay - two years after Stumble founders Garrett Camp and Geoff Smith cashed out and handed their baby over to the ecommerce giant, they've come back with a team of investors and bought StumbleUpon back from eBay. It's pretty exciting... ...StumbleUpon is one of the handful of services launched on the consumer web in the last few years that can truly be said to have significant cognitive benefits for the people who use it. Give yourself an evening to peruse and explore the web using Stumble, if you haven't. It makes the brain feel good and it's a great way to learn - through play and personalization. It's a whole lot of fun. It's not something that needed to be turned into a way to jump from eBay listing to eBay listing. Stumble is smart, it's useful and we're very happy to see it independent again.
