Computer Or Man Behind The Curtain Creating Titles In StumbleUpon And What Does It Mean For Endurance Training?
Hi folks, I love StumbleUpon (SU) because it takes me to the most amazing photos, and sometimes videos. But SU exhibits really bizarre behavior, especially when it comes to hits. 'Something' decides when lots of people like a blog post, and when no one is interested at all, but I don't know what this 'something' is, yet.
