| theGypsy | says | ok, who's the smart ass that Sphunn it? |
| TheKenJones | ZakNicola beat me to it. |
| AnitaK | stand up for your ideals! |
| SEOHack | says | heheeh, nicely done. anyone read newsweek's article about the internet becoming a sweat shop? this has some of those echoes. |
| jamesduthie | says | Sure to go hot in Sphinn within one hour! |
| theGypsy | says | well, I won't get into it, but there was a tipping point for me and I had to question user generated social media in general.... |
| theGypsy | says | funny how there are so many articles preaching how to be attentive to people in social media/networking.... but many of the sites don't |
| theGypsy | says | for one reason or another we lost a lot of great peeps at Sphinn, I really think they could have done a better job... but what do I know? |
| theGypsy | says | James, as for going hot, kind of defeats the purpose....lol... but ya'll want to Sphinn it and send me traffic... I APPRECIATE IT... I care |
| theGypsy | says | can't say much for the folks running the place... not sure if they care.... but I certainly do  |
| jamesduthie | says | yah... your point about the networks listening to users is highly valid. After all, they are run by Internet marketers. |
| theGypsy | says | does make one wonder... new media is supposedly ALL about the people... but is it only as far as they give to you the site owner? |
| theGypsy | says | do the sites care about you the user? Or just the free content generated? |
| TheKenJones | I wonder if this'll be enough to draw a decent response out of Danny. He usually steps up when there's a visible enough rep management issue |
| theGypsy | says | would it matter? Isn't that merely PR? The actions needed to be early IMO... no point in doing anything now but defend himself .... |
| jamesduthie | says | I think by going hot in Sphinn it achieves the exact purpose of the piece. Not for traffic - but for awareness of the users. |
| nthused | says | I share your thoughts. Smart move IMO |
| theGypsy | says | and if he does it'll be lip service as far as I am concerned... should have reached out to peeps like me and Maki long ago to say thanks.... |
| theGypsy | says | I asked Maki.... he's never heard BOO from them.... he and I have more submissions than 1/2 the place combined (over 1200 between us) |
| jamesduthie | says | I'd expect a response from Danny within the next 24 hours. Particularly because it will go hot in an instant. Looking forward to it. |
| theGypsy | says | yeah well let me know cause I won't be checking brother.... |
| jamesduthie | says | I'll post it in the comments of your blog...  |
| mpilatow | says | excellent rant. I had to Sphinn it, sorry. I also had to write about it at my blog piloseo.com/social-media/sphinn-is-losing-a-valuable-contributor/ |
| theGypsy | says | np soapbox... though I think U missed the point entirely... might want to re-read it... I was talking Social Media... not social networking. |
| theGypsy | says | Hey Mark.... just a bad week as those I spoke with such as yourself know... |
| mpilatow | says | totally understand. Have a good evening |
| doshdosh | says | Cool post dude... it made me think.  |
| theGypsy | says | well see the comments now too Maki... some additional thoughts |
| theGypsy | says | we all hear about how companies need to embrace new media... reach out, interact |
| theGypsy | says | but does that bear out with some of the social sites themselves? |
| theGypsy | says | I would be curious to know of ANYONE that has gotten a 'pat on the back' |
| theGypsy | says | if not it almost encourages spamming as *that* is the pay off.... simple respect doesn't enter into it.... |
