    Hello All,
    Okay guys, I think I have finally put something up that we can initially work with and we can build more features on top of it. Basicaly what i have done is setup a link directory where everyone can submit their links and then we can go through each others links and stumble the ones we like. I want to make it clear that we dont want to just stumble any site any body puts up, this will get our sites banned from StumbleUpon network, so lets only stumble the ones we like.
    I am working on a system that will determine automatically who has stumbled what links (based on their stumble name). For now lets just get our links in a database so links are not posted all over the place.

    so

    step 1.
    go to http://stumbleme.developertoolz.com/ (will be setting up a real domain for this)
    suggestions welcome on the domain (keep in mind we dont want to get a letter from laywers of SU)

    step 2.
    add your link to the right category, if a category u think ur site belongs to does not exist, please contact me and i will add it to the category list
    (adding links, the description is limited to 500 characters, u will get a blank msg box if u put more, this will be fixed)

    step 3.
    add another link to the Stumble Friends directory with the link to your friend profile so others can add you if they like you.

    step 4.
    stumble some of the sites you like by going through some of the links.

    step 5.
    add a ling to your DP signature to the network URL if u have any free spots available.

    step 6.
    make any suggestions on how we can improve this process.

    stormy yoru right, i wouldnt wanna go through the categories looking for links :), the idea is to just have them in the DB, then once we get enough people's links in there we can setup a exchange program which will based on this foundation.

    all links have been approved.

    I want to make it CLEAR that this community we have setup is NOT so that you can just get anyone to stumble your site. The whole point is to show others your COOL site that is worthy of stumbles.

    I am in talks with SU to make sure we are not breaking their rules.

    I noticed that in the browser tab, too. I'm guessing he's using an existing domain and forgotten to remove the title tag from it.

    I dont think someting like this will work, the amount of crappy sites submitted is gonna ruin it.... well start seeing sites filled with adsense, and thats not what stumble upon users like. GL though.

    Ah, I was confused by the sidebar category listings. I have finally added myself to your project. I'll go through and stumble a few right now.

    Hey I would take off the virtual kurdestan.com bar on the top. Besides not making sense - it disables our ability to thumb the sites.
