Now That I Have 200+ StumbleUpon Friends…
March 14, 2008 – 7:54 pmSome StumbleUpon users complain about it. I see it as a good thing. The fact that I no longer can add additional friends to my account offers an opportunity to reevaluate my current StumbleUpon friendships. Sorry to disappoint, but using the words of Donald Trump, some of my current Stumble Upon friends will be “fired”.
What can you do not to be fired from my friend list? Simply follow three simple rules:
- Make sure to engage with me. If you are on my list I expect you to share your stumbles with me, but…..
-
Stop sending me porn or anything that is bordering with it. I find it very strange if our common interested include SEO and marketing yet you always send me pictures and videos of celebrity boobs. I am not interested.
- Make sure the pages you send me are well optimized. While I have cable internet connection, some times I receive stumbles that have terrible load time. It is frustrating. I can only imagine how frustrating it is to people who connect to the internet via dial-up modem.
Happy Stumbling!

I am not sure if we are friends on StumbleUpon but I know you Stumbled my real estate website and I appreciated that. So when you make room after firing some of those folks I would be happy to have you added as a friend.

Actually, I've seen this before and I wonder if there are times when their database gets out of whack when removing friends, where a friend gets removed but sometimes you don't get the credit.
@Andy - What they really need is an interface solution on this if they won't raise the limits. There should be a little alert that pops up and lets the new fan know that you are maxed out and that friending them is going to involve some juggling... Maybe let us customize the message: "Hi! I'm maxed out right now...."

I actually choose people based upon what they submit more than anything else, but that 200 limit is a pain. I am up to almost 800 fans on Stumbleupon and I would guess I know 600 of them by their avatar and other online activity.
I have had people quite upset when I don't friend them back.

Now I see what you mean. Yes I have 213 fans and it looks like 196 friends. But if I go to add another friend it tells me I have reached the 200 friends... go figure.

As for the count, I now see 196 of them both when I am logged in and as anonymous. It does list 213 fans total. I suspect it is some kind of quirk due to the profile ratings of a few of them. Maybe a few of the boob aficionados you mentioned have X ratings ;-)

I am guessing the number you see are the mutual friends you and I have. I actually have 213 fans and 200 of them are added as my friends.
