10 Great Reasons to Use Sphinn
Posted by Mike | Filed under Internet Marketing
Sphinn is a site where you can share your favorite internet marketing and/or search marketing news with others. It’s similar to Digg, but it’s quite different (I hope you got me…). With Sphinn, you may discover and discuss news which are related to what YOU are interested in — internet marketing!
I’m telling you, Sphinn is NOT your ordinary social news site. It’s got a lot of features that sets it apart from the others! You might ask what makes Sphinn so special, so I’ll give you ten (10) AMAZING reasons why you should choose this social site over the others.
1. It was made especially for us!
Yes, Sphinn was made so that we, the internet marketers/webmasters (or whatever you want to call yourself) can discover and read articles which are of our interest. It’s not like Digg or Pligg-powered sites wherein articles of different topics are competing with each other to reach the top. With Sphinn, only articles which WE consider informative can be found! 
2. You can build a network.
Sometimes, webmasters need to take a break. What could be more enjoyable than discussing webmaster-related topics with people who share the same interests with you? Talk about the articles which you think are controversial, discuss important items and when people find your points interesting, they might decide to “stalk” you. Once they “stalk” you, they’ll be getting updates on what you have been Sphinning. That way, you can build a relationship and who knows, the people who “stalk” you might end up being your business partner! 
3. The words “Bury” and “Sink” aren’t in Sphinn’s dictionary.
You read it right, stories/news may not be buried or sunk! This means that people who are your competitors or audiences who hate you can not hit your articles by sending them all the way down! If people don’t like the stories that you submitted, they’ll just leave them alone — no negative votes for your stories! Pretty cool, huh?
4. There’s a calendar for events related to webmasters/internet marketers!
News and stories are not the only things that you can find in Sphinn. There is a special calendar which displays upcoming events which can help us become better internet marketers. I think that it’s a great feature since we can easily spot opportunities by using this calendar!
5. Everything is so easy to find!
Oh no, you don’t have to scan through hundreds of pages just to find what you’re looking for. There are several specific categories that contain the stories which have the information you want! The categories are VERY specific — an example of one category is Google AdWords. What more would you like?
6. You can reach your TARGETED audience.
We have to face it, some social news sites deliver useless visitors. Sometimes, people just click on what they see and click the ‘X’ button if they find the stories too long, too short, or just not their type. At Sphinn, people who click on your stories are actually interested in them because as I said, Sphinn was made for us. Most, if not all of the people who use Sphinn are webmasters, so if you’ve been submitting interesting stories about internet marketing, you’re sure to get targeted visitors.
7. You’ll never miss the latest and hottest stuff.
So… you might be thinking that you’re missing all the hot and latest news just because you weren’t able to check the site for a few days… Don’t you worry since Sphinn displays the newest and the hottest stories! You’ll be able to get all the hot information by checking the ‘Greatest Hits’ section, and you can also find out the latest stuff on the ‘What’s New’ Section. If you REALLY don’t want to miss a thing, then you can easily subscribe to Sphinn Feeds!
8. No time will be wasted on crappy articles.
I think that the Sphinn staff is doing something to control spam because I have never encountered a story which is not informative. Everything I read was full of great information! Other social sites allow “spammy” stories to be submitted, but I think Sphinn is kind of strict when it comes to the quality. 
9. You’ll ALWAYS have a smooth surfing/reading experience.
As I have mentioned, Sphinn is NOT like other social news sites! It’s really different since your experience will always be awesome. Why? There are no obtrusive ads, no annoying pop-ups, nothing that will make you irritated! Everything is presented very well, too.
10. There’s a thing called Sphinn Live.
Another cool thing on Sphinn is the unique feature called Sphinn Live. It allows us to see what’s happening on the site, on the spot! So if a Sphinner shares a new story, we’ll be updated as soon as he clicks on the “submit” button.
Well… that’s it. If you’re not yet a Sphinner, I bet that you’ll start using Sphinn RIGHT NOW! As always, feel free to add to this list by commenting on the post. Thanks!
Wow… it’s the first time that I heard of Sphinn, I think it’s great ‘coz your reasons are so convincing that they want me to register… I’ll be a sphinner in no time… I’ll drop a comment if I already registered so maybe we can stalk each other in Sphinn?
Thanks.
Thanks so much for dropping by, Cham! It’s good to know that you were ‘persuaded’ to join Sphinn because of my post.
I hope to see you around more often!
Thanks buddy, I think I am off to play around with Sphinn as well. Nice article.
That’s good to hear, Aibek. Thanks for visiting!
Nice introduction to Sphinn you have going there, Juggler! Didn’t know that much about the service until I read this post of yours. So thanks for the heads up, I’ll go and check it out now. Cheers!
You’ve definitely converted me to a Spinn user.
I particularly like the absence of the opportunity to bury or sink news and stories. People can be mean at times, so it’s great that at Sphinn, they don’t get to express their destructive tendencies.
