A short time ago I download the Stumbleupon Toolbar for Social Bookmarking.
It has fast become one of my favourite ways of finding new websites within my areas of interest that are of high quality. So that is my next topic for a camtasia presentation similar to the Del.icio.us one produced yesterday.
However when I was browsing through a great blog at Easy WordPress yesterday evening I came across an article and MP3 download all about Stumbleupon.
Having downloaded and listened to that I realised that there is much more to Stumbleupon than I realised. So I will be absorbing and trying out all the new approaches learned before making my Stumbleupon Camtasia Video.
If you are reading this and would like to get your hands on the MP3 I am talking about – here is the information that caught my eye:
StumbleUpon is a great way to get huge amounts of traffic to your site, web 2.0 style – as long as it’s done right. Daniel Scocco from Daily Blog Tips got over 140,000 visits in 7 days to a single blog post
Here is the direct link to the page:

About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
