		<description>Hi SEO Ranter,

I wouldn&#039;t characterize it as competition. 

Sphinn is specifically targeted to the search marketing community (including the Usability contingent) while DropJack serves a far more general audience. 

I see advantages to both approaches. 

Sphinn is made up primarily of the best brains in the business. They are a vertical community of sorts. The folks participating there are the elite level thinkers and doers. If you want to learn a lot about specific things in the SEO/SEM sector, Sphinn is an important place to visit. 

DropJack is made up of writers and editors from a much broader arena focusing on promoting content by authors who would otherwise generally go unheard from. With over 40,000 unique writers putting content in GoArticles each month, we figured a better way to promote those writings was necessary.

The weird thing is, though both were built and launched in the same two - three week period, neither us or the Sphinn-meisters knew the other was developing a similar tool at the same time.</description>
