The site now sports a very Digg-like front door with a stream of recently added sites trailing down the page. + +The site has also been revamped to emphasize the community aspects of StumbleUpon. A new column called "Recent Stumblers" on the right side of the main page highlights users currently online making it even easier to connect with people that share your interests. + +For those not familiar with StumbleUpon, have a look at our [review from last year][2]. While the basic functionality of the site has not changed, the redesign makes it easier to navigate and discover new content. + +While exploring the new redesign I stumbled (natch) across a feature that let's you [track what people are saying about your site][3].
