They raised a round of $1.5 million from Google’s founding investor, Ram Shriram, Lotus founder Mitch Kapor, Topic founder Ariel Poler, angel investor Ron Conway… Once people download is toolbar, StumbleUpon shows you Web sites that you can rate as good or bad. It starts showing you more of the types of sites you appear like, based on those sites have been rated highly by other people that have voted similar to the way you have. It does the same for videos, people and product information.  It makes money by showing an ad every hundred or so stumbles.  With no marketing, the StumbleUpon community has grown 150 percent from last year and delivers some five million new recommendations a day to its user base, the company said.
