Quick heads up for our blogging members: We’ve just made two new Sphinn buttons available for use on your blogs/web sites. One is square, the other is a smaller rectangle; we hope these will fit in well with any other social sharing buttons you’re already using. Here’s what they look like in Before & After mode (i.e., before getting Sphinns and after getting Sphinns):

The old button code will still work if you prefer that, but you now have a couple new options, too. You can find all of the appropriate code and instructions on our Sphinn Widgets page.

Enjoy!

For those of you who took our 2010 Sphinn Member Survey last month and were willing to provide your name, we offered a pretty sweet prize: a free pass to either SMX East 2010 or SMX West 2011.

Well, the survey responses are all in and we’ve drawn the name of our winner … drum-roll, please …

A huge congrats to Melissa, who gave me a chuckle with her “Holy crap! Wow. Thanks!” response when I emailed to let her know about the prize.

And a huge THANKS to everyone who took the survey last month. The responses were excellent. You gave us honest and candid feedback about what we’re doing right and wrong, and where we can improve. We’ve already began discussing the survey responses internally and will use them to guide us as we continue to evolve and improve Sphinn.
