Much to my surprise, StumbleUpon has referred almost 20,000 visits to my Ultimate Libertarian Quotes List. And it’s not slowing down either. In fact, I’m still getting about 4,000 visits per 24 hour period.
I’ve had a few pages Stumbled before, but never like this. Not even close. It got me thinking… “are most Stumblers like me?”.
I Stumble a lot myself. I probably spend at least a half hour every day Stumbling, sometimes more. The three things I love the most are lists, images, and anything to do with Libertarianism. One of the reasons I got into Stumble is because there was so much pro-freedom content available and it seemed, unlike Digg, that the Stumble crowd was very non-partisan. Or at least, not into party politics.
While the assertion made in the title is purely an educated guess and contains no statistical data, 20,000 visits from StumbleUpon is a pretty big deal. And apart from a few comments and emails that seem to believe Democrats somehow represent Libertarian values, most of the comments and e-mail I got from that post were very much in support of true American liberty.
This tells me that a huge segment of Stumblers enjoy lists and are not in favor of the current two party system.
That makes me proud to call myself a Stumbler.

Nice traffic. My friend got about 800,000 hits in one day from a girl scantily clad in a Ubuntu t-shirt.
