Hey Brian, drop the direct link next time instead of the Sphinn link. There's no point in pointing users here to Sphinn and make them click extra to reach the article. Direct link: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Maki
thx for direct link - Steaprok
maybe Brian was trying to generate some sphinn's. - Joseph Rodgers
@maki thanx for direct link. - Barbara K. Baker
Um, yeah, that was the point... sphinn helps people on sphinn see this article too... that's why it's good to sphinn it. FF isn't enough for me... I like to get salient news from multiple sources. I suppose it would be different if techcrunch had a sphinn button, but as far as I can tell, there's no place to do that from the blog post, not even in the "share" pop-up. And that's pretty much the only news voting service or bookmarking service I use right now, so it's important to me. - Brian Carter
Brian, I know you want more votes for your submission but I still feel its annoying for non-users to have to click twice to get to the article. Seeing that there's zero value-added discussion on Sphinn, its virtually a useless interstitial for those who aren't Sphinn users. Just my two cents... - Maki
I'm going to add my two cents as well, which will most likely offend some. Had I been in Maki's place, I would have deleted this post and reshared the direct link to the room. That's better than what I normally do when someone attempts to "share" their submission with me through another social media site (i.e. Stumbleupon). Defriend the user and bury the article. - Gerard Barberi

Yikes, sorry guys, didn't realize it was such a breech of etiquette here. Noted and changing behavior! :-) - Brian Carter
I've tried most of these desktop clients, and Twhirl is my favorite. It handles friendfeed the best and still lets me see what's going on in the twitterverse. Noiseriver and Friendfeedmachine look particularly interesting - and useful. - Gerard Barberi

Hey, relax! One or two Sphinn articles isn't going to kill anyone, as long as it doesn't become a regular occurrence, right? - Andy DeSoto
