I think it really depends on what the user wants out of it. If you’re looking for something similar to a newspaper you’ll probably enjoy Digg or Reddit more. The newer generation enjoy StumbleUpon more because it shows you articles that seem like you would enjoy, literally at the click of a button.

I’ve been using Stumbleupon for 3 months now. Stumbleupon has been a great way to get traffic to my new site. I use Stumbleupon daily.

I have to admit that this article shows the truth behind SU and my experience shows that the trust factors are higher on SU than Google and all others.

Google is built on social hubs and so does StumbleUpon with more insights of identity. You will get closely connected to new and older friends than on any other level.
Just like all new social music sites.
SU Me http://arabicmusic.stumbleupon.com/ and many old ones.

One problem is that SU could not identify how unique those SU users are, would any marketers be able to get 50 users name, sure yes.
As from traffic conversion sides, SU is not bad at all and I would vote for SU vs Digg and myspace.

A comparison with SpicyPage would be interesting too:

S/U offers so much more to me than those other communities (I am on those mentioned and more)
I spend more time on other Stumblers pages than I do using the Stumble button. There are those in the community who constantly find unique and interesting pages –

I recommend you spend some time looking over the S/U landscape – I find it the most entertaining of the social networks I know of

Joined StumbleUpon 2 months ago. Love it. I couldn’t get into any of the others.

Also, this post on “why digg failed” gave me a bit more insight into why I think I like SU better :)
