StumbleUpon: Search Enhancement Feature
20 January 2007 09:45 AM | Internet and Web
I just upgraded to StumbleUpon ver. 2.89 (seems
to run well on my Flock browser). When I
upgraded, StumbleUpon gave me the option of
turning on a search engine enhancement feature
which is supposed to work with both Google and
Yahoo. I figured I'd try it, but after turning
it on I could not see any difference on the
toolbar or anywhere else, so I just sort of
shrugged it off.
Today I did a search in Yahoo and noticed little stars next to some of the listings and when I moused over them they were a link. Clicking on this took me to the StumbleUpon page for that site showing who voted for it plus any reviews or comments about the site. This is very cool.
Unfortunately I'm not seeing anything from StumbleUpon when searching with Google. I don't know why. I am not even sure how they add the stars to the listings in the Yahoo SERP's, perhaps Greasemonkey? Anyway it is another reason for me to use Yahoo search.
