As a matter of fact, I could have sworn it was sphunn back when it was originally posted in November.  But, I could be wrong about that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't get too frustrated.... keep submitting to sphinn.  I think you there is a combination of things that need to happen to sphinn a post hot.  Not only does the post need to be exceptional and sphinn worthy, but I think the time submitted (just like you mention) plays an important part.  Another thing that I find interesting.... the avatar.  I believe having a stand-out avatar can make a big difference as well.  People will recognize you and want to read what you submitted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great post.  :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shana (TheNanny612)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Shana Albert</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Dec 2007 22:55:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: It&amp;apos;s Come to This - Grovelling for a Sphinn!</title><link>http://www.jonathancrossfield.com/blog/2007/12/-seems-like-this-social.html#comment-17709201</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Kimota,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cool post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just wanted to say that I noticed yesterday that you sphunn the Internet Hunger Post about Sphinn Popularity, but I believe the reason you might have had problems getting many to sphinn it is because that post was a month old.
