Get StumbleUpon Sponsorship Absolutely For Free

We at Profy are great fans of StumbleUpon. We've reported on this great social bookmarking and discovery community several times already and I as the editor and also our authors use it to discover new Web 2.0 sites for review and to share newsworthy items with our friends. StumbleUpon can really enhance your surfing and help you discover hidden treasures you didn't know existed - easily and via a very clean and user-friendly interface that's like a fun game.
A couple of weeks ago I found out that there's no special group named Web 2.0 on StumbleUpon, though there's usually a group for absolutely everything there. So after hesitating only briefly I decided to found such a group myself. That group is available for everyone to join and contribute to. However, only owners and moderators post sites to StumbleUpon groups, so I want to find 4 moderators who will contribute by posting new Web 2.0 sites. No single person can cover all the web 2.0 websites launched daily!)
To attract these new moderators, Profy is giving away four one-year StumbleUpon sponsorships.
Why care about a sponsorship when StumbleUpon is a free service? Sponsorship gives you these additional features to enhance your StumbleUpon experience:
- Show pages you've thumbed up while searching with Google or Yahoo.
- Use the Pages We Both Like feature to see what you have in common with other stumblers.
- Benefit from unlimited stumbling within favorites of your friends.
- See People We Both Like when visiting other stumblers.
- Gain access to Create New Groups.
- Have copies of all your messages emailed to you (both sent and received messages).
- Enjoy a longer message history on your inbox and contact tabs.
- Be able to Turn off Sponsored Stumbles.
So are you interested in getting all these features for a whole year and absolutely for free? Do you at the same time feel you have something to say about Web 2.0? Then join our small contest and win the sponsorship. How? It is quite simple:
Step 1: Join StumbleUpon (if you don't use it already).
Step 2: Join the Web 2.0 group on StumbleUpon.
Step 3: Start a discussion in the group on the topic you think will be of most interest to other members of the group.
Step 4: Send me a private message via StumbleUpon about your interest in participating in the contest.
Step 5: Follow your discussion and encourage new group members to join it.
The founders of the four most active discussions will be nominated as moderators of the group and will receive their sponsorships from us on the 2nd of May (exactly two month from today) - absolutely free.

On a related subject, have you heard of eBay buying StumbleUpon?
Yan, nothing is confirmed as of yet. But anyway this post was not intended to cover these rumors, I would not stop using StumbleUpon whoever eventually buys it - though I think this great tool deserves simply getting really big VC money and continuing independent work as it is, I don’t think that an acquisition by a large corporation is the best thing to be desired for at least some of the startups we cover on Profy.
