What is Digg?76 Comments
- mareyeka, on 08/01/2008, -2/+22This is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
- thePuck77, on 08/01/2008, -1/+16My email to Stumble, feel free to copy and paste:
I use your service and am an advertiser with you. I am writing to protest the banning of http://www.problogger.net from your service. Darren and other web professionals produce the content and attract the users who fuel your business. I urge you to reconsider your choice. The social media community is very displeased. - MattNF, on 08/01/2008, -0/+14Who cares?
- elizabethpw, on 08/01/2008, -1/+15Shows that StumbleUpon's banning procedure is inherently flawed. No one in their right mind thinks that Darren is spamming anyone, ever. If this is not fixed, it shows that we can't trust StumbleUpon.
- veronicaromm, on 08/01/2008, -1/+12How could they?
- mfartr, on 08/01/2008, -1/+11This is tragic. I have submitted the following to Stumble:
I think the banning of ProBlogger from your service is a disservice to users and the social media sphere as a whole.
Darren is not some spammer looking for a quick bump or buck. He consistently provides high value information worthy of Stumbles.
I respectfully request you reconsider this decision. - luciodr, on 08/01/2008, -2/+11Ok, we all care for Darren and shame on Stumble upon, but let's consider that can be an error (I HOPE IT IS!)
- smbeebe, on 08/01/2008, -1/+10What the hell for? Are they stupid or what?! gees...
- diggic, on 08/01/2008, -3/+11Darren,
Sorry to hear that, I Plurked to 1200 friends to digg this!. SU should be ashamed for banning you... - versionist, on 08/01/2008, -0/+7Two questions:
Who?
Who cares? - diggic, on 08/01/2008, -2/+8You can spinn it here too http://sphinn.com/story/62908 I also blogged about it! and stumbled my post lol so we get more SU people to digg this...StumbleUpon should be ashamed!
- NextInstinct, on 08/01/2008, -1/+7Perhaps the incoming community manager is familiar with your fine reputation,
and will respond less 'ebay-like' than you've experienced thus far.
walterofsu-feedback@stumbleupon.com - estvir, on 08/01/2008, -1/+7.. and buried as spam.
- moehorn, on 08/01/2008, -2/+8Problogger rocks! Unban them StumbleUpon.
- jpatrickm, on 08/01/2008, -1/+7This is crazy. I'm curious to find out why they did this, if they actually end up giving a reason at all. Nothing like a social media site alienating it's social media community. I realize it's only 1 site, but there's nothing like the good ol'internet to cause waves and turn people off. People can jump from a trend overnight. It's like Myspace banning 16 year olds lol

lololoololololol - nowsourcing, on 08/01/2008, -3/+7unbanned, win!!!1one - http://digg.com/tech_news/Problogger_Unbanned_From ...
- diggic, on 08/01/2008, -1/+5If you guys use stumbleupon stumble this http://tinyurl.com/stumbleass , spread the word around SU members
- Flashman, on 08/01/2008, -2/+6SU has damaged its relationship with one of its most visible promoters. They must have thought they had a pretty good reason for it!
- diggic, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5Looks like they are going to unban him now ! http://twitter.com/problogger/statuses/874349967
- Megal, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5O god, that really sucks. What were there just so many people that like the blog?
- Flashman, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5"update - just heard from StumbleUpon’s Community Manager (who I emailed) - he’s also commented his email in comments below. We’re going to work on sorting this out and then I’ll post about the results in the coming days so we can all learn a thing or two about why this happened and how we can avoid it happening to others. Fingers crossed that this is resolved soon."
- NunoXEI, on 08/01/2008, -3/+6I just stumbled this Digg post --- thumbs up the Digg! :) At this point I don't really care if I get nuked next for just being a dick about it all. I think this is all very rediculous. I'm happy to see a Digg show up for this!
- 711Security, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5I was able to thumbsup the problogger post so it looks like they are done unbanning.
- musicmixingguru, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5there going to un ban him..its too much of a useful site
- mgef, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5HEADS UP - Please read http://twitter.com/problogger/statuses/874362357
- tbhurst, on 08/01/2008, -2/+5Unbanned - crazy story, though.
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Just cause they give their support doesn't mean they're a shill.
- bloggingmix, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4Absurd indeed!
- inactive, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4I am a little shocked myself. Go figure. It must be a mistake. Not that you would do something like this, but, if it has caused considerable traffic loss, and possible slanderous defaming, would you consider litigation, or suit against StumbleUpon. I mean, it has been done to Indexing sites. Why shouldn’t StumbleUpon be any less responsible?
Regards, Matt - lingmiester, on 08/01/2008, -3/+5Its gone viral, and Darren will probably come up tops!
- luciodr, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4Its everywhere already .
For those who use Sphinn vote here sphinn (d o t) com/story/62908 - Meethere, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2lets ban SU
- keyz, on 08/01/2008, -3/+5This is very absurd!
- GhostyBoy, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2I always find that once I plurk all over my friends that I have to find new ones!
- ftwdigg, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2Really?
- ike368, on 08/01/2008, -0/+2it's geese.
with an e on the end. - MInTheGap, on 08/01/2008, -2/+4I contacted them-- let's hope it was just a glitch.
- shutaro, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1They did it for the lulz.
- shutaro, on 08/01/2008, -2/+3Dude had it coming.
- pedepy, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1How could they what..?
- ike368, on 08/01/2008, -1/+2what?
MAN BANNED FROM WEBSITE, UNBANNED. DIGG BUGGS OUT FOR AN HOUR. - jpatrickm, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1Why 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.
- inactive, on 08/01/2008, -2/+3It's *****, although Darren doesn't need stumbleupon to do well. Let's hope they use some CDF (Common Dog *****) and remove the ban.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1tell em to fix account ravetildon also! :)
- veronicaromm, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1I dont what does it mean?
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1You must not know what "shill" means.
Then again, neither does Rotzooi. -
