StumbleUpon, the corporation that recommends you objects to browse online, now has 800 million “stumbles” a month, when users ask to take them to a new page, a pretty impressive number.

Speaking to TheNextWeb, StumbleUpon’s VP of marketing and business development Marc Leibowitz said everything is up and to the right. StumbleUpon makes money throughout publicity, through paid assignment among the “stumbles” users do.

And it seems to be working: because StumbleUpon’s algorithm learns what users are interested in, pertinent pages are shown, which is good for both advertisers and users.

StumbleUpon is an interesting story the company was bought for around $75 million by eBay awaiting its creator later bought it back to make it grow even additional, which is always a great capitalist story.
