We all, who are interested in social media sites, heard about StumbleUpon’s intention to lift the 200 friends limit. Finally Stumble Upon has listened to its users who suffered a lot from constantly checking their friends to make sure that they are receiving good stumbles related to their interests. And others who also suffered from standing helpless in front of all their fans who always insist on the add as a mutual.

SU paid some attention to the call of removing the 200 friends limit and stated that they are going through just few days to remove this limit and to separate the social & content aspects of friendship on SU. So you will be able to “subscribe to someone’s favorites without necessarily becoming their friend, and become someone’s friend without necessarily seeing their stumbles”.

All of this is great and some Stumblers can see it as a long-waited new option that can facilitate their stumbling mission and make it more easier and enjoyable. They see that it will be great to follow stumbles from certain stumblers who they find their content valuable, relevant to their interests, and really want to know about. And simply opt-out of stumbles of certain friends whose interests do not match theirs.

But here is a fact that there are other Stumblers who have a wide view of this new option suggests that a Thousand friends is quite a lot to manage and this option will cause “too much” complexity, and subsequently more time spent juggling this aspect of the site, with the ability to see 1000 on the what’s new tab if you have lots of friends.

They also believe that separating friends , subscribers and their functions will result in new arguments and feuds, it will not go so smoothly for some Stumblers; it will be a new source of issues when people want to be friends instead of subscribers and vice-versa.

Some Stumblers also claim that it will be a deadly mission for someone to share a certain interesting page with his/her friends, they can spend a whole day and a night sending good stuff to their unlimited number of mutual friends. They agree that this is going to be horrible and suggests that either StumbleUpon changes its “Sharing” system to be easier and gain a new option to send pages to large number of friends at one time, or devise a new technique to share pages with friends.

So, after this over view on the upcoming change that will happen in StumbleUpon system and the removing of the 200 friends limit, we should come to an important question that “Will the removal of SU 200 friends limit really work and benefit the SU community? Or it is just a kind of propaganda to grab the eyes and spread the words about the long-waited change?The few coming days will answer”
