Hello Guys! Did you know that StumbleUpon has reached its milestone? Two days ago, its famous Stumble button has been clicked more than 25 billion times.

SumbleUpon Community Manager Monica Semergiu said in a tweet, "Today we celebrate the 25,000,000,000 billion clicks of the Stumble button."

The social media company has been on a roll ever since it was spun out from eBay in 2009. In November 2010, the social site hit 12 million users and last month it reached 44 million stumbles in a single day which broke its mobile usage record during the year's Super Bowl. 

Since last April to date, StumbleUpon hit 1 billion stumbles per month. 

Though StumbleUpon doesn't receive same type of media attention such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or Google+gamer, it has quietly grown into a social media powerhouse with millions of loyal users. The result has been a solid business that StumbleUpon has to celebrate its 10th year anniversary this coming November.
