I had uploaded this BBC story earlier to NewsTrust and did a review of it mayself. This is about three guys from Calgary who developed what Business 2 mag said is the best social site in the net. It started as a simple idea: Google had almost solved "search", how about discovery? StmbleUpon came into being with over 2 million members to date!
Here's the BBC link:

Hey Yul,

I did not know these guys are from Calgary.

An associate who understands these things did a rough calculation on the costs of carrying the bandwidth and SMS fees and thinks StumbleUpon must be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on supporting all the backing and forthing.

Thanks for the tip o the hat to NewsTrust!
