The only way to get maximum benefit right now is to do both. Although I can use TwitterFeed to feed my review RSS stream to Twitter that doesn't get my activities using the SU toolbar into my su.pr. If I use su.pr to share content that doesn't get that activity into my SU microblog. StumbleUpon already is the most powerful of Social Networks and they could be far more visible than Twitter and Facebook IF they would only take what they're already doing and create what we all really need. I wrote a blog post explaining how SU almost did it right and could create their own Golden Goose as big as AdWords. I hope you don't mind that I linked it to this comment so you could read it. I am currently working on a post about how combining and expanding the functions of su.pr and the SU toolbar would make StumbleUpon the Social Network of choice hands down. There is currently nothing that does what they have almost done. Would you consider reviewing my ideas and possibly passing them on to StumbleUpon. Once you read the post I've linked you'll know why.

Because everytime I put in my wordpress website domain the text is deleted and nothing happens. However if I try it with a standard website such as stumbleupon.com then it tracks it fine. Thanks Dave Hi Tim

Is there a way to get su.pr to pass the referrer to your site so that you can see the traffic on your site, instead of it looking like it doesn't help at all from an Analytics point of view?
