How do you stay on top of all the information out there? It's your network, of course. There's huge value in building out layers of contacts, so the best news bubbles up to the top.

Here's a caveat, though - most of the really valuable information is discovered by trailblazers, who are not going to share that and therefore lose competitive advantage.

If you rely on other people for your best info, you're not trailblazing at all, and quite possibly losing out on the best that's actually out there, if not careful.

Sphinn is the "secret to staying on top" if your niche is online marketing - and maybe even if it isn't as marketing IS the key to success in most businesses.

I so get what Danny (and all the others involved) are doing here and it is simply awesome. Just this morning I posted this exact quote at StumbleUpon which has been my Social Networking experiment of choice:

"I'm finding that Sphinn is going to be really useful for quickly identifying and prioritizing what to read to become cutting edge in your online-marketing niche.

My view so far is that Sphinn is most pertinent to staying on top of the latest on aspects of Online Marketing: SEM, SEO, PPC, linking, affiliates, blogging, social networking, etc.

If you're involved in any of these you'll want to get plugged in at sphinn.com [www.sphinn.com]"

I wrote that before I read this article. In fact, it may be the reason I read it.

I disagree with you iBrian - visionaries aren't concerned with competitive advantage because they recognize the value of collaboration.

In every industry throughout recorded time and probably indefinitely, one thing holds true: the Top 2% are the most successful, the top 5-10% are comfortable, and the rest are struggling to break even.

As fast as skill sets change today and as complex as it is to truly be in the top two percent, those who specialize to be leaders and visionaries who network with other leaders and visionaries with complimentary abilities will have such an advantage there IS no competition!
