This reminds me of one of those link exchanges you'd find on Geocities in the mid-90's where they'd bump your site higher on their list if you drove traffic to their site. I'll stick to StumbleUpon. Interesting blog, by the way. Aside from the issues with usability, you’re right on with the spam observation.

Knew that the model reminded me of something but hadn't been able to place it. <br /><br />With the exception of the Beer Tokens thing it really does seem to be a less secure and usable version of an already successful model in StumbleUpon, so not sure where it's going to go long term.<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the rest of the blog.

With the exception of the Beer Tokens thing it really does seem to be a less secure and usable version of an already successful model in StumbleUpon, so not sure where it’s going to go long term.

Glad you’re enjoying the rest of the blog.

I have to agree with you Robin – stay away, at least for the time being. What an awful looking site. I have to agree with you Robin – stay away, at least for the time being.

I could forgive that if it was ugly and functional, but it's a nightmare to navigate and not user friendly at all.
