I am not sure when this feature was added, but I just discovered it thanks to a stumbler friend of mine giving me the tip. (Thanks Roby!)
Basically all you need to do is go to your ‘favorites’ then hover over the image and then a ’share’ button appears.
From there, you can choose what friends to share with and voila! The days of sending to one friend at a time are over.
Thank you StumbleUpon. Nice!

Oh, thank God.
It’s about time!
Thanks so much for the info!!!

Woot- something to make that process less cumbersome!
Very nice indeed. Thanxs for the heads up. Always nice when the tech companies improve their tech. LoL.
Missy.
THIS… is awesome.
Good stuff!
Finally!
Is this a Firefox app or how does it work? Is it a setting in SU?
Doesn’t seem to be working for me.
Thanks for the feedback.
You have NO IDEA how much time you just saved me! This is the best eNews I’ve heard all day. Gonna go test it out now.
Hmmm, I like! But so far I can only see it if I have the mini-pics enabled (to the left of blog-posts.) That’s all fine and good, but I’m not a fan of those. I tried hovering over everything else in the post, but no such luck.
I also noticed that when this blog page was sent to me (perhaps using that share message) I received an email with the information from Sharebuilder and the sender. All fine and good, except I’ve been known to get many pages sent to me each night (more so when I’m away from home and the boyfriend wants to share a page with me, since I can’t look over his shoulder!) I can’t imagine getting that many emails a night!! So, unfortunately, I chose to unsub from the email notifications. Take the good with the bad, I guess.
This is a much needed improvement. I just hope it does not lead to “too many shares” to respond to in a reasonable time.
Unfortunately this feature also sends an email to the recipient. This isn’t really acceptable to me. call me scrooge but I’m removing friends who insist on using it.
Awesome! This is beyond fabulous. Makes it more immediate & fun. Thank you!
Yay – thanks!!
I can’t get this to work, wondering maybe if it only works with MSIE and not with Firefox?
I brought up an article that I had Stumbled, then hovered over the Favorites on the SU toolbar. Nothing! Tried just about everything I can think of.
Hopefully it’s just ME having a dumb moment…
They might have been thinking spam prevention…
Actually I just used this feature and wanted to point out that this sends an e-mail to friends whereas the other method gives them the popup in their browser. Could have different benefits to each.
This is fabulous news. I was getting increasingly ticked off at the old “share with one friend at a time.”
Yeah that is defo a new feature, a handy one at that too!

Thanks for pointing that out! It will save me a lot of time!
Got it to work right after the comment – feel like an idiot but whatever… Thanks!
Excellent tip! Nice work
Thanks to you and Roby! 
A good move, although like one of the commenters above I’ve been getting alot of e-mails through too…

Lots of SU information is available directly from the SU pages, so there is never a reason to say wow, I didn’t know about that.
I got it – for anyone else who gets stuck, just view your favorites list, then hover over the image to the left of a post and the Share button will appear.
I was viewing a page that I had favorited, and hovering over “Favorites” on the SU toolbar.
It’s all in the interpretation of the instructions.
Thanks goodness. I am so grateful for this. I wonder how this is going to be taken into account with the SU algorithm.
I’m so glad they finally did this. I guess they finally realized that users usually send shares to more than one person.
If anyone is not pleased with their email box full of shared stumbles, you can opt out of it by clicking on “If you do not wish to receive emails sent by your friends via StumbleUpon, please click here. Visit our Privacy Policy if you have any questions”…
You will still receive your PM messages (as a sponsor) and not the stumbles!
that i really cool , im just out to check it out!
I found it didn’t work going to favorites but will work if you go to recent shares
…makes life alot easier
Thanks for this Jon didnt realise it existed
WoW, for so long I was waiting for this thing to come up… Great work SU. and Nice share.
Hey bro
Roby put me down, but it’s a nice step in the right direction now if the lazy asses would apply some of the base apps that every other site gives like chat and the sort maybe I’ll stay on longer.
But one small step fo stumble kind hahahahaha
This is Fantastic !!
Its about time…!!!
Just what we needed … great news.
Thanks for the tip
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Now if only someone would develop a Wordpress plugin that showed a counter of how many people have stumbled each article…
IT’s about time. It will be interesting to see how is received by Stumblers. I have noticed already I am getting sent a lot more stuff through the stumble toolbar.
Thanks for sharing about stumbling sharing the love
Yee Ha, fill inboxes with as much SU shares as Digg ones.
woot! My li’l thumbs were getting tired.
wooo hooo ty very much!
They were probably holding this back to prevent spamming.. Looks like now it would be much easier to share.. But will have to deal with a lot of spam messages too..
StumbleUpon is def. a great area to build up traffic for your site. It works great on some and work unbelievable with others.
This is great & will save a lot of time.
Oh Neat, add me to the list.
