The Serendipity Of StumbleUpon – an interview with Garrett Camp, Chief Architect

Written by Richard MacManus / October 17, 2006 4:16 AM / 15 Comments

« Prior Post Next Post »

In our recent Social Bookmarking Faceoff, we discovered that social bookmarking site StumbleUpon actually has more users than the more hyped del.icio.us. Currently StumbleUpon has 1,375,696 users, according to its About page. Recently del.icio.us announced it had reached 1 million users. I grew even more curious about StumbleUpon’s success after reading the comments on a recent post of ours, where a few StumbleUpon users left almost mystical comments about the product: “I became a Stumbler in order to learn more about the world [and] it has been invaluable”, noted one commenter.

To discover more about the mysterious StumbleUpon, I interviewed co-founder and Chief Architect Garrett Camp. In this post, Garrett describes StumbleUpon as a “personalized content discovery” service and outlines how it has grown to the million plus users it has today. Interestingly, he says that nearly half their user base is outside the US and more than a third are over the age of 35!

In other highlights, Garrett muses on the serendipity of SU and the “social interaction that emerges from using StumbleUpon”. We also hear about StumbleUpon’s future plan to become “your guide to the web, a community-based discovery tool”. Finally Garrett notes a new feature called “Stumble it!” – which lets people submit and review sites without installing the SU toolbar.

Here is the full interview…

R/WW: You started out in late 2001, yet it seems like only this year that StumbleUpon has really burst onto the scene. In May this year you ‘launched’ after some VC money and the company also moved from Canada to Silicon Valley. What do you think was the triggering point for the success you now have – was it that launch in May, or new features on the site, or something else?

GMC: The May launch helped, but every community reaches an inflection point where it becomes bigger and more successful than initially imagined. We think that StumbleUpon reached its inflection point earlier this year.

We registered StumbleUpon.com on Nov 5th, 2001 – and for the first 4 years grew slowly but steadily as we developed the toolbar and the recommendation engine. We had less than 10,000 users for our first year, but those members were very active and contributed a lot via suggestions and feedback. This was great because we were self-funded and working out of our bedrooms in Canada.

By the time we moved to San Francisco in Jan 2006, we had crossed 500,000 registered users – and shortly afterwards met our investors who very quickly saw the potential. Their investment allowed us to upgrade our infrastructure and hire a few more people (in an actual office!) and since then we’ve nearly tripled again. So there hasn’t been any one event that triggered SU’s success, its really been a persistant and incremental refinement of a system which we’ve used ourselves everyday.

R/WW: You’re now bigger than del.icio.us, with 1.3 M users to del.icio.us’ 1 M. I have to admit that surprised me when I found out, as I’d always assumed delicious was the biggest bookmarking site around. What type of users do you think StumbleUpon attracts? it seems like it’s more ‘mainstream’ than delicious (which all the web 2.0 geeks love)…

GMC: de.licio.us is focused on organizing information, whereas our focus is personalized content discovery. We help people find something of interest or make a connection with someone with similar tastes.

With respect to our demographics, nearly half our user base is outside the US, more than a third over the age of 35, and they are viewing sites in every conceivable genre – from Economics to Humor, Gardening to Photography. So essentially StumbleUpon appeals to anyone who is looking to discover great new content and who wants a personalized tool that is easy to use.

Digital Journal Mavericks: Stumbling Through the Web With Garrett Camp

By David Silverberg.

//

Searching for your fave sites can be time-consuming, but StumbleUpon has found one of the best ways to list recommended sites, photos and videos. The Web discovery tool hasn’t stoped improving its technology, founder Garrett Camp told DigitalJournal.com. Digital Journal’s Mavericks of 2008 series profile 10 trailblazers in various industries, allowing readers to learn more about the innovators and risk-takers who are making an impact in 2008. This is the final profile in the 10-day series. See below for the other Mavericks. Digital Journal — Garrett Camp call his website a remote control for the Web. He isn’t exaggerating: StumbleUpon acts as a Web discovery service, allowing users to search through millions of user-submitted articles, sites, photos and videos grouped by category. Available free since 2001, the recommendation-friendly site isn’t resting on its laurels; Camp says he is experimenting with new features and hopes to make the discovery process even more intelligent. He predicts the site will win over many more Web surfers in the next few years. StumbleUpon flies in the face of search engines like Google. Members who download the free StumbleUpon toolbar for their browser can simply click the “stumble” button to find a recommended website the site’s community decides is worthy. So if you like photography, and you set your preferences to find photo sites, the “stumble” button shuttles you to a site or article relating to that interest. You can “like” or “dislike” a site, which adds it to your profile’s bookmarks, and you can also write a review and send the link to friends. StumbleUpon became such a hit, it grew to 600,000 registered members within four years of its launch. Camp, who was still attending the University of Calgary at the time, raised $1.5 million in investment money. Wall Street took notice. Not surprisingly, the website found love from a new media giant. eBay bought StumbleUpon for $75 million last year, and so far the gamble has paid off — approximately 12 million “stumbles” occur daily and the site has attracted five million registered members. Camp now lives in San Francisco because he wanted to be close to the action in Silicon Valley. Despite the big cash-in by selling StumbleUpon, Camp still speaks modestly and it doesn’t look like the power, fame and money has gone to his head. The day DigitalJournal.com met him, he was wearing a simple collared shirt and he ordered chicken fingers and fries over our lunch-time interview. StumbleUpon’s impressive traffic is making advertisers salivate and they’re jumping on board. StumbleUpon has partnered with video hubs like YouTube and Metacafe to allow members to search through those sites. And some companies are paying for sponsored links to be included in random “stumbles,” based on the user’s subject preferences. On the horizon are new innovations to improve the site’s intuitive algorithm that helps you find the sites you care about. In an interview with DigitalJournal.com in downtown Toronto, where he was speaking at the mesh 2008 conference, 29-year-old Camp spoke about keeping StumbleUpon fresh, why it’s different than Digg and how the site’s community keeps spam out of their stumbling.

DigitalJournal.com: How is StumbleUpon different than Digg or bookmarking site del.icio.us? Garrett Camp: We’re similar to Digg in the sense that we work on a community-based popularity model: We show you what people have voted up recently, what’s popular and going viral. Digg is a discovery service, somewhat, but their main focus is technology and politics. StumbleUpon also adds cool stuff from the past, not only in the past 24 hours. The majority of people on Digg see the same thing. No two people get the same stumble at the exact same time on our site. And del.icio.us is a great way to organize bookmarks, and searching through other people’s favourite sites is secondary. On StumbleUpon, you can add “friends” to see what they voted up and reviewed. It’s the best way to find what’s hot on the Web. And since we’re part of your browser, it’s more of a personal tool. DigitalJournal.com: But can’t someone continuously plug their own website and service on StumbleUpon? Camp: If someone is promoting their own site, we have a lot of checks in place. I can’t go into details because that would help the bad guys. We can monitor what you’re rating, and see the repetition of what sites are being rated to determine your credibility. If it looks like spam, it can be flagged as spam. We also like to have the site self-regulated by the community. If you get more thumbs-down scores, you get less attention and the StumbleUpon community ignores you. I prefer the members acting as monitors instead of us blocking someone outright. DigitalJournal.com: I’ve noticed StumbleUpon has some social networking features, like adding friends to your profile. Is this going to be a new focus for the site? Camp: We have groups and friends so that five million browsers can share content between each in a way that’s never been done before. But we plan on staying focused on content. We don’t want to add chat or bulletin notices or event posting. Our core priority is how we can make discovering the Web easier and smarter. DigitalJournal.com: So how will you strengthen that experience as the years progress? What is in the works? Camp: We want to improve the quality of recommendations. When you stumble on a bunch of sites, perhaps only a few are awesome, several are mediocre and you come across a few bad ones. We want to filter out the really bad stuff. We’ve hired researchers to tweak our algorithm to deliver the best recommendations, which is still a new field right now. We also want to be embeddable in more websites, not just our partners [like YouTube and MySpace]. We want Web discovery to be ubiquitous so you can go to any website and stumble upon something very cool within that site. So imagine if you went to flickr and StumbleUpon was available for the site, allowing you to find the best photos on flickr. Right now, we have 15 partner websites but why not make StumbleUpon more flexible and add it to any website you want?

Mavericks Series

This is the final profile in a 10-part series on Mavericks of 2008, focusing on trailblazers in various fields, from Internet to photography to music. Every day, DigitalJournal.com readers learned about a new industry maverick. See below for the other Mavericks profiled on DigitalJournal.com.

/Q&A/ Garrett Camp from StumbleUpon.com

23/04/2007 | Filed under Develop > Q&A

Navigating the internet is a tough task, even with a search engine. That’s why Garrett Camp and his colleagues set up StumbleUpon.com, a more sociable way to find new sites

.net: How has StumbleUpon grown since it was originally launched?
GC: We registered StumbleUpon in 2001 and grew to about 10,000 users in the first year. These were really active members who gave lots of feedback and suggestions to improve it. This was great, because at this time we were self-funded and working out of our bedrooms. When we moved to San Francisco at the beginning of 2006, we had about 500,000 registered users, and since then we’ve passed 1.5 million users and 3.5 million Stumbles per day.

.net: In your opinion, what’s the main attraction of your app for users?
GC: StumbleUpon is about personalised content discovery – people use it to discover new and interesting websites that come recommended from their peers. The toolbar integration helps a lot, since it allows people to easily submit any new site they find with a single mouseclick. This increases the quantity and diversity of content on Stumble – nearly 15,000 new websites are submitted each day. The interactive and social aspects of StumbleUpon are part of the attraction for its users too, because you are actively improving your experience as you Stumble, rate and review new sites.

At the beginning we didn’t have a lot of community features. However, we have added many over the last few years, which have helped to make the Stumble experience much more compelling.

.net: What was the inspiration behind creating it?
GC: We started StumbleUpon a few years after search engines became popular. Our goal was to create a system where you didn’t have to search to find highquality content, a service that would recommend relevant content based on your personal preferences. For example, keyword searches on Google deliver the same results to everyone – it’s ‘one size fits all’. StumbleUpon is different; I’ll get different results than you will, because we have different profiles and interests. StumbleUpon’s results are personalised to the user’s preferences.

.net: How do you think Stumble fits into the ‘social’ Web 2.0 phenomenon?
GC: The ratings and reviews on StumbleUpon connect users up with others who share common interests, even if they’re not looking for friends. People really like the social interaction that StumbleUpon facilitates, particularly since it happens in a very natural and casual way. Social networking isn’t the main purpose of Stumble, of course, but it definitely helps create a more meaningful experience than a regular web search.

.net: ‘Stumblers’ leave comments saying that they wouldn’t have found a particular site if it wasn’t for StumbleUpon. Do you get that a lot?
GC: We get comments like this all the time. It’s great to hear from people who find value in the serendipity of StumbleUpon. People also really like the social interaction – it feels different to other online communities. The ratings and reviews connect people with similar interests in a gradual and casual way, and the social networking component improves the experience.

.net: How do you plan to develop StumbleUpon?
GC: We’re continually developing the technology behind it to improve the experience. We recently added a web-based interface, which lets people submit and review sites without having to download the toolbar. We’ve also launched Search Reviews – an integration of our database of reviews with popular search engines, so when you search through Google or Yahoo, for example, you can see which sites other Stumblers like or dislike. This is available on both Firefox and IE.

To make it easier to submit content to Stumble, we’ve recently added a web-based interface which lets you submit pages using a similar process to digg or del.icio.us. This lets people submit and review sites without the toolbar installed, so it should increase the number and diversity of content contributors.

.net: Even some Web 2.0 juggernauts like Friendster are losing ground to much smaller Web 2.0 sites. What’s your plan to keep Stumble on the up?
GC: Friendster and other social networking sites popularised the idea of making connections online, but not everyone wants to use the web for that purpose. Search engines have wider appeal, but they don’t consider who you know or what you like when delivering results. We’ve combined the two approaches, and employed Web 2.0 concepts right from the beginning. The social networking aspect of Stumble is not shoved in your face, it’s just one piece of the overall experience; you can either make your stamp on the web (by submitting or rating sites) or just surf anonymously. We are continuing to add new opt-in community features which will help people discover great content.

.net: How many sites have you stumbled upon?
GC: About 15,000 – it’s a lot of info! The more boxes you tick for your interests, the more sites you’ll find. .net: Are we in a Web 2.0 bubble? Is it going to burst? GC: I don’t think we are really in a bubble. The valuations are a lot more reasonable this time around, and most of the business models make sense. It may be a slight funding bubble, but it hasn’t extended into public markets like it did in the late 1990s.

Stumbling Upon Search, Garrett Camp on the Future of Search and Discovery

By Patrick de Laive on 25th March 2008

// <![CDATA[//

From an inside source we’ve heard that Garrett Camp, founder and Chief Architect of StumbleUpon, is preparing a speech on “the Future of Search and Discovery”.
This must be exciting. Think about it for a second, most of the people use the web not even close to its potential. Apart from google and their social network, people have a lot of trouble of ‘what sites to visit’ while surfing.

If you know what you’re looking for, search (Google) is the solution, but what if you don’t know what you’re looking for?
What if you want to be surprised, what if you want to know what is out there, what you can do, see, play or read on the web. The huge success of stumbleupon (compete stats) proves that discovery of new websites and content is an important aspect that is often overlooked when talking about the web. My hunch is that discovery can be at least as big as search, especially if you start in the discovery mode in can switch to search once you’ve stumbled upon a topic or website you’re interested in.

Anyway, who am I to judge…
I think I’ll pay extra attention as Garrett Camp walks up the stage during The Next Web Conference to do his keynote about “the future of search and discovery” (!!).
Yes you’re reading it correctly, Garrett Camp is the Mystery Keynote Speaker during The Next Web Conference next week.

Social Bookmark : Garrett Camp – StumbleUpon.

In 2001, Garett Camp, 28 began working with two friends to help people discover interesting Web content. They Founded StumbleUpon wich burst onto the scene in 2006.
Last may eBay acquired the “engine” for $75 million. StumbleUpon has more than 3 million users.
StumbleUpon is a Social Bookmark engine like del.icio.us. The principal of these Web 2.0 interface is to put in contact users with similar interest. By a simple click the user submit a site and then he is take to other site recommended by friends or other users with the same interest.

En 2001, Garett Camp, 28 ans, a commencé à travailler avec deux amis sur un projet qui permet aux utilisateurs d’Internet de découvrir des contenus intéressants du Web.
Ils ont fondé StumbleUpon une interface qui permet de partager ses signets (favoris). La société a réellement progressé en 2006. En mai dernier eBay a acquis StumbleUpon pour $75 millions. StumbleUpon compte plus de 3 millions d’utilisateurs.
StumbleUpon est un « outil social de signets ou favoris » tout comme del.icio.us. Le principe ces interfaces du Web 2.0 est de mettre en relation des utilisateurs ayant un intérêt semblable. Par un simple clic l’utilisateur soumet un site et est mis en relation avec d’autres sites recommandés par des amis ou d’autres utilisateurs ayant le même centre d’intérêt.

into the wild in wild

I just coming back from the exterieur cinema of the park de la villete. nearly thousands of people there , when i arrived , the film just beggining and the crowed already shock me , nearly one hundred metre squars full of people don’t ever can walk through them . i just found a place near the bord and watch it until the end .

Just like< In to the wild> I think i should watch it again and again . two times is not enought.

When thr film finished , the second shock is more strong which i never saw in my life . those crowed is begining to moving to the metro and all of them crash and stuck in the entrance of the metro station, the crowed moving as the speed something like 3 minute one metre long, they just realy can discribe like ” 摩肩接踵”，but all of them are very quiet  and not like in China peoples just thinking about themselfs crash each other ,the crowed is moving slowly but gently ,this is great trained social . people pay attention in the thing and nearly all of them are well educated . i feel the power . I never saw those kinds of crowed in my like that stuck in the road to the metro . when i go down those stairs and finally in front of the vol ,look back my eyes ,there is the other crowed follow the first crowed stuch in the stairs and waiting for people moving . like usuall. they are talking and smiling , make a kinds of voice like bees in this mid-night station ,  it is already 1 o’clock in the morning . i guess those thousand of people need at least 5 metros can take all of them leave from this park .

that is sociate , the sociate which is screamed inside the movie ,the sociate which Alex want escape , the sociate which we are all want escape but not everbody can do it . the sociate we are all living with and rely on it like the mother of the life .which around you and eating you until you die . never let you existe be alone .  The sociate is the Matrix .

Human is a complexe animal .

午夜狂想曲=孵化基地

L’AIGLE DES MERS 看完之后回来，不解之一：为什么周围人在女主角和男主角在马车上亲吻时大呼，在片尾也大呼，我认为此故事情节太传统了。音乐让我想起最近听的几曲非常有趣有很奇怪的曲风，从来没听过的。

这个公园很大，但就是因为电影节我才第一次来，发现里面有很多好玩的玩意儿，但是唯一的处女游现在没有太多激情再去支撑了。还是巨大气球支撑起来的屏幕最吸引人注意了！叹为观止。即使下过雨的露天草地上在凌晨最冷时候还是有成群的人堆积在那里，直到浑身冻僵，竟然有一半的人带着睡袋到现场观看。这可是酷暑时间，为什么天气还那么冷？！

地铁不是最后一班，午夜0：23分，晃悠的人群，偶然的视线相对，又看见今天在公车上的哪个胖子，发现竟然和一个亚裔在一起。参加电影节的百分之90都是年轻人。

这个时候仔细审视，便会发现很多奇形怪状又很可爱的人了，或许我现在也开始变的奇形怪状，巴黎式的不自然，完全的被文化包围，不能思考的脑袋因为在各种感官充斥着文化的情况下变的更难接受信息，因为身体的每个细胞都在这些巨大的文化浓缩下疲惫和倦怠。

地铁终于来了，我坐下就想睡觉，巨大的金属摩擦声和铁轨的碰撞声在黑暗的隧道中通向不能识别的方向。在这样的双层城市生活就是这样，有些人能识别地铁路线，但是出了地铁就找不到方向。我还好，度过了这个陌生的时期。我还是属于地面生物群落。在GARE DE L‘EST 转的时候很恍惚，到4号线一直闭眼到我要下的站，但是睁看眼睛半天没反应过来，算了吧，下一站，我又转12号线，这样的蠢事也会发生。最后出地铁时候发现凌晨1点半的地铁一个人也没有。走到RUE DE RENNE 时候一堆人在2楼开PARTY ，窗口对向大街，声音很大。

我跌撞着回到家，累得没知觉了。但是手指碰到电脑时候精神又来了。看见FIREFOX我又活过来。看来我的生命在这里！
既然生命更接近这块大陆，那么那么就继续发挥吧！

仍然是ICINORI ，我大致搜索了那个和RAPHAEL 的合作者的资料，在FB 上看见她，很是好奇，加了她，同时加了几乎她的80%的朋友，从我的知觉看，都是“不凡之人”，从那些头像上直接就能看出来，但是没找到RAPHAEL ，很是奇怪！？其中有圣马丁学院的朋友，还有一些没有看资料的，估计也是这个群的。看来现在接触到那些所谓的地面了。梦想其实就在身边，顺手就可捞到，这里是梦想的孵化基地！至于以后的路怎么走我该重新仔细体验和审查分析一下自己的所有的周围形式，以最精髓部分组合了。生命就是一个过滤的过程！精神和物质以及任何存在的优胜劣汰！

该整顿那些ROLES 了，重新设计游戏，不管是场景还是角色，以及关卡和目的地。一切重新擦净脑袋里的尘埃。用富裕文化的药水浸泡一下，再注入镇定剂，然后把世俗和无序放上绞刑架，用我的剑在这芒从里披荆斩棘直到我要达到的地方！！找到我存在的意义！

那么其实从现在开始，就该重起系统了：

ETPS 每天必须看，紧跟SAINTMATIN和SRB还有RAPH ICINORI，我要靠近他！才发现他就是我的光芒！EENSSAADD永远不变！但是找到最佳捷径！

进入我的圣域！

有没有一种基因测序之后进行分析的程序?

我对生物学来说还是个门外汉,虽然在11岁时候问你喜欢什么,我说我喜欢生物.记得那时候是我对我生命最初的一次考虑了，那些兴趣也是源于我的舅舅是一个优秀的生物老师,我想我是如此的容易被人影响,或许那时候要是没有出现初中的语文老师,之后又是高中的语文老师，我不会喜欢文学.要不是遇见我的同桌,我不会开始画漫画.一切都是如此的关联. 那些东西就如进化的链条，使之发展至今,而现在我的生命混乱.在这里封闭的意淫, 追溯,这完全是挫败之后的一种消极和退化反应.

那么我今天就再来说说进化吧, 有没有一种很直接和简单就能进行基因测序的软件，现在听说一个星期就能测试出来了.那我想将来不久或许就会有软件出来.会听见某某 SPY 在自家的地下密室研究某某的基因然后分析这个未知者将来的踪迹. 只需要把搜索到的未知者的任何一种生物证据放在一个仪器或者是什么东西里面,之后它就自动进行分析.而未知者的将来面临的事情发生是这个测试者早先设计好了的。于是在把这个未知者的基因分析呆入到早先设计好的要发生的事件里去,然后进行运算,最后的的出的结果就是和未来将要发生的相差无几的. 这是一种非常科学的计算方法了吧,中国的易经和很多都是已经存在的了。其实探索人类外部的世界也就是探索人类的大脑. 或许中国古代已经在”万物”领域里寻找到了一种方法知晓全部宇宙的奥秘了,也或许知晓全部大脑的奥秘了. 这仿佛也是进化的.

再者,几天前看见的细菌搅乱它的大脑,杀死昆虫最后从它的尸体里长出来又证明什么? 万物都是一体的? 无机物可以转化为有机物?

关于于此相关: 因为此线索,于是发现有很多诸如此类的软件.图形软件或者其他。或许该成为我至尽一年学习时间的一个大PROJET!

Philip Glass 和 魔术学校

城市玩弄着奇异的魔术/忽然在类似CHAO 的节奏里使整个节奏清晰起来

Philip Glass 忽然在潜行的网络中浮现/我舞蹈的线谱又在音乐中再次被修改

EPSAA-ARCHI & NOSTALGIE

建筑的乡愁/塔可夫斯基身躯燃烧之火焰加载成了画面完整的灵魂/ 诗人到意大利寻找索左夫斯基/烛光与水池/火焰与第九交响乐。

我又回到了抽象世界的巨大雕塑里寻找那些弥散在空气中密度被稀释了的建筑味道，Bunuel的镜头也不能从任何一个角度全面的窥视整个现象发生的过程，从〈我的建筑师〉到〈乡愁〉，每个被忽略的知觉又需要从那些混杂在一起的黑色线条里被唤醒。

《MY ARCHITECT a son’s journey 》这个研究Carcassonne的家伙或许吸收了很多古代建筑的气息了？

BAZZAR  ISFAHAN

Isfahan 的 Bazzar 建与17世纪，全长两公里，是中东bazzar中最老最长的。Q: 伊朗电影《白气球》里的哪个集市场景是不是在这里拍的？
