problogger.net— ProBlogger, the home of blogging guru Darren Rowse, has been blocked from StumbleUpon. Surprising as it's an amazing site and Darren's a great guy!

Why do people on here comment that everyone following this is a shill... somehow brainwashed. What's with the "who cares" or "we are pawns"? The point isn't that he was banned, the point is that word of it spread so fast. Social media is big business to some people, not just a brainless past-time for some sitting in their underwear at 1am chatting. It's a valid story because it happened, whether it mattered to you in particular or not. Funny thing is that even those who dismiss this as stupid, still found this story and still commented. The business of social media is causing a reaction to people who don't even know they're reacting.

Problogger has missed a trick, people like John Chow, milked all the publicity by not begging Digg and Google to let them in.Darren is a nice geezer,

It's Bulls**t, although Darren doesn't need stumbleupon to do well. Let's hope they use some CDF (Common Dog f**k) and remove the ban.
