How To send A Stumbleupon Web Page

If you want to sending to anyone a specific web page using your StumbleUpon account, it’s extremely easy. You must go on the web page, you must only click on the “send to” button on the toolbar and pick a username.

Well, now you find above a list of the StumbleUpon users with a little red number you see brackets beside the username. It shows how many times you have sent the specific user a page.

Once you choose a user which you want to send the webpage, click up the icon and a window pop up will appears in front to you, where you can put a little note of web page you want to send.

Great content can drive a lot of (influential) stumlers to the page profiling you they rush to vote and review it. Some of them will be drawn into visiting your profile, simply because you have such great taste.
