A few months ago I moved from Digg and focused my energy on StumbleUpon (click here to view my profile). To my surprise the site had a much friendlier community but lacked in some basic functionality.
As someone who actively searches for new content I like to keep track of my discoveries on social networks, something that StumbleUpon is lacking. So I set out to make StumbleUpon Alerter.
Introducing "StumbleUpon Alerter"
The Beta
Get alerted whenever your discovery on StumbleUpon is reviewed or given a thumbs up.
StumbleUpon Alerter is a small tool that sits in the system tray. It keeps an eye on all of your discoveries on StumbleUpon and plays a noise whenever someone reviews or gives your sites a thumbs up. Open the main window to view information about each discovery - including a list of people who have reviewed, thumbed up or thumbed down your sites.
- Plays a sound whenever a person reviews your discoveries
- Plays a sound when one of your discoveries is liked
- Displays a list of your discoveries on StumbleUpon
- Shows a list of people who have rated your sites
- Lists all of the reviews for your discoveries
- Ranks your friends in order of most reviews
- Made with the same interface as StumbleUpon
Click here to download version 1.2 (1,719kb)
Use the above link to download the latest version of StumbleUpon Alerter. For more details about this version click here.
StumbleUpon Alerter is a free software application designed and developed by Adamant Solutions. Free to download, free from viruses, free from spyware, free from adware and free from anything else malicious.
Tracking your discoveries
A sound is played whenever newly discoveries are reviewed or given a thumbs up / thumbs down. Newly reviewed and thumbed items are highlighted in green and made bold.
For ease of use the number of thumbs up and reviews are displayed to the right hand side of the listing. To view more information simply click on the item listed.
Who likes your discoveries?
(And who doesn't?)
StumbleUpon Alerter makes it easy to watch who likes or dislikes your discoveries. Simply click on the discovery in the main list to view a listing of people who have given your submission a thumbs up or thumbs down.
To the right hand side of their name you can also see, at a glance, how many times the person has liked your other discoveries.
At the bottom of the StumbleUpon window you can view what people are saying about your discoveries. Reviews are displayed in 1 line and show the thumbs up or thumbs down logo.
Analyse your friends
For the first time ever, you can now analyse your friends on StumbleUpon. Within moments you can learn who is reviewing your submissions the most. Clicking on a persons name will display a list of submissions they liked or disliked along with any review they posted.
I envision that this list will get quite large over time. So I have added a "Filter" box at the bottom of the window. Simply type in the first few letters of anyones name to easily find the person you are looking for.
See which domains perform the best
This is a trial feature of StumbleUpon Alerter. It allows you to easily see which domain names are attracting the most attention. This could come in handy for people who want to offer more content to their social network from sources that attract the most attention.
It is worth noting that this product is not endorsed or supported by the founders or developers of StumbleUpon. Adamant Solutions is not associated in any way with the development, design or the running of the StumbleUpon service. If there is any confusion please contact us.

Great app! Do you know why it would be showing only two of my discoveries? (See screenshot at tinyurl.com/36hhmm
Thanks!

| Adam Lyttle commented on March 5, 2008

In answer to your question JC3000 (and something I should have pointed out): Over time it will watch all of your submissions, but in the first instance it will only grab any discoveries on the first page of your profile.

I have repackaged the setup file to include the missing DLL, thanks for pointing that out eydryan.

Pretty cool tool. However, doesn't it just show who liked or disliked in the comment section? I suppose that it is still cool to see on your desktop and you get alerted.

To avoid the MSWINSCK.OCX problem in Vista you need to run the installation for StumbleUpon Alerter as administrator.
Find where you downloaded the installation file (sualerter_setup.exe) right click it, and "Run as administrator", it'll then install normally.
Many thanks for the tool Adam.

Any way to fix this?

Hi Adam,
thanks for this tool.
One thing, does it not count negative thumbs and do you exclude your own votes?
IMHO negative votes and your own votes would be well worth happening.

Hi "evil", try downloading the new version (link has been updated). Let me know if that fixes the issue. If not send me a private message on StumbleUpon and I will run through it with you.

| George commented on March 9, 2008

First, this is a phenominal piece of software, thank you for sharing it with the community.
I've had it running for a couple of days now, but it has now frozen and become unresponsive. I am unable to end the task from XP's Task Manager, and each attempt to do so causes SU Alerter to use more memory (sitting at 115K right now).
I'll try and reproduce the issue after a reboot, but if anyone else is having a similar experience I would very much appreciate your input.
Thanks again for this tool, I look forward to the 1.0 release.

Hi Adam thanks for the reply. I tried to message you on SU but it says I don't have permissions to send you a message?

Hi Adam,
it's a great tool. I downloaded in order to write a review on ikaro.com but it does not work properly for me. It shows URLs but all values (stumbles, reviews) are equal to 0.
Any suggestion?

| Nicole Simon commented on March 15, 2008

Adam, maybe you should add a small info below that you need to run it as admin under vista.
So far it does not work for me, equaling 0 for every body - perhaps a firewall issue, which port is it using?
|
|
| EF commented on March 15, 2008

Maybe you could add some instructions on how to set it up.

Awesome program, too bad it doesn't run on mac. Another reason to open parallels I suppose.

|
| Tony Lawrence commented on March 25, 2008

What this doesn't give that I would like to have is a list of all my pages that have been stumbled.. I really don't understand why SU itself doesnt have a way to show that - or am I just not seeing it?

Is there any updated version? There are still a few bugs here and there and eager to see new updates/features :)

This looks very interesting , if it works. It would be great if stumbleupon would release an API so tools like this could be officially integrated.
Anyway thanks , will download it now and try it out !

Installed without a problem, did not pull in all my stumbles though (I know I have hundreds LOL!). Wondering if there is a way you can make the app default to Firefox without me having to set my browser default to it? I have to leave my browser default IE :( only because my Outlook mail hates Firefox LOL!
Would really love a straight-into-Firefox version!

I am using XP, but everything is blank, I entered my user name but still nothing appears and I have found new stumbles since installing but still nothing.
Does this actually work for anyone?
I dont want to have to submit every stumble one by one to this app.

Looks nice, started to download it thinking it was a firefox addon only to see at the end of the filename the dreaded .exe suffix.
Which is a shame really.
That withstanding, it looks like nice work though.

I haven't used StumbleUpon really but are there any realistic applications in using this for SEO. I have tried out digg and a host of other social bookmarking sites with little on or joy. Would it be worth investing time in stumble upon to drive traffic.
