		<description>I got it, Used it, found it great. But there are only 8 services available for the moment. I hope they will add more. They say so on the sales page so I'm not worry.
If you want to see my daily progression:
&lt;a href="http://www.blogadollar.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;BlogaDollar.com&lt;/a&gt;
Greetings from France John.

My results with web2submitter? Just google "have your own product" or "hyopod"(R) and you'll see. I'm all other the place.</description>

		<description>I can endorse this tool. I use it. Even more valuable is the Buzz group...think about it.

		<description>It seems like this will be worth it.. if it will save you time. If you have to spend more time messing with it, forget it! The last thing I need is something else to mess with.</description>

		<description>The group we set up agrees to read each others news before anyone else's.  That's all it is and there is no pressure on anyone to vote for things they don't like.

It's perfectly logical for people to get in groups and be social - duh - that's the whole definition of web 2.0.  

Digg and others aren't the only ones who can set up networks and groups.  You are perfectly within your rights to join a group that agrees to check out each others posts in the social sites and vote for them if they like them.

It violates no terms of service whatsoever and it is not gaming the system.  

Oprah has her book club and that radically affects book sales when she picks a book for her millions of fans to read.  Is that gaming the New York Times best seller list when the book goes crazy in sales?

Is it artificial inflation of the importance of one book title over another?

Or is it free market?

Lastly, in our group everyone is urged to be a part of these communities in a way that most other people never come close.  Individuals game these systems just by submitting and walking away - making no contribution whatsoever to the group.

Our group improves the discussion and links to these services because we LIKE them and want them to survive.

We have no desire to spam and ruin a system that sends us so much traffic.

And the Buzz Group is not spamming or gaming the system.

When you have millions of viewers, a tiny group of a couple hundred cannot game anything anyway.  If a story gets 15-20 votes from our group, how much do you think that truly affects the service?

All it does is bump - just like Oprah does with books she recommends.  The people still have to decide if there is value there and the story still goes nowhere if it doesn't make the cut in front of the bulk of the members of these sites.</description>

		<description>I actually like this program. I also find that the ability to have others in a group review my posts and decide if they would like to Digg, StumbleUpon, etc. a very powerful extra.

I think the price is worth it...

		<description>Yeah, Social Poster is the better choice. It's free.

And "trading" submissions is kind of slimy, don't you think?
