Sometime I just type something I feel like stumbling through on a form and then use that text.

I think it has to do with the alt tag of "No more like this" when you hover over the thumbs down icon. It sounds like I'm telling SU to stop showing me anything else remotely related to the current page. Apart from stumbling thru a topic of interest(point 3), one of the neat features of channels that I really love is the ability to stumble thru wikis, images and video (point 4). I am quite annoyed by the fact that I can only see the last 40 people who thumbs up a page though.

You'll have to take it up with stumbleupon support. @Geoserv: They have a list of people who liked the page, but you can't tell everyone who did. If you suspect a certain person has, you can go to their page and see if the website is listed there. @ppeter: I don’t know. You’ll have to take it up with stumbleupon support.

Type in any keyword or subject and SU wull stumble through it until you change it or run out of pages. Just selecting the predetermined subjects in the drop down is 5% of SU.

It really is a great resource. @Tango: I think stumbleupon is a little bit more complex than that (although I think that has to do with half of it.) I think they also get the jist that you don't like the site itself, so they don't send you to it as often and, after a while don't send you there at all. @Korinthian: I know... I've always thought that was so annoying. Though, they also have on the stumble review of the page, a "Report This Site" option that sort of helps... I've thought of sending them a complaint about that, maybe make a reporter that would give you a list of recent stumbles (like say, 5?) @Jean Car: I used to spend a lot more time on stumble than I do now, but I still come back to it and do a few hours a week… It really is a great resource.

That is annoying, so I don't report shit when it is so much easier to just hit that green and blue button again.

This suggests that if give a site - for example a photography site - a thumbs down, SU will simply send you less photography sites. SU will definitely not realize that you gave it a thumbs-down because you found the images to be uninteresting. So in other words, I think that when you use the thumbs-down feature, you're screwing yourself... unless you actually want to see less of the topic you're giving the thumbs-down to.

I pretty much never use the thumbs-down button, for that reason. I would rather Stumble-upon a few comics (or cars or bands or whatever) that I don't like than have SU send me less comics (or cars or bands or...).
