Sphinning your favorite internet marketing web pages just got a lot easier, with the sphinn command for Ubiquity.
All you have to do is hit alt+space, type sphinn, hit space, then enter and you will submit whatever page your looking at to sphinn. You can also submit a highlighted url, or you can type the url you want to sphinn, like:

Yep Ubiquity came onto my radar this week, with Brian’s post here. Looks very interesting. Will download and try and out your script, thanks.
Ahh...my son had just mentioned Ubiquity to me last week, but I hadn’t run across it yet. Thanks for this. Like Nick, I will look into it more now too.
Ok, i’ve installed ubiquity, but this sphinn command doesn’t seem to work. The twitter command is very cool though!I think the problem is you have to somehow subscribe to the new commands, but it’s not clear how. Erik, if you’re reading here, could you elaborate?
@JillThat seems to be working for me. I clicked the "sphinn command" link in Erik’s post and then noticed I had an alert at the top of the FF window, similar to the FF alert about allowing pop-ups from this site. It asked if I wanted to subscribe to this command, I clicked "subscribe" - then it took me to a confirmation page. I confirmed there (it was a warning about trusting third party scripts) and the command was installed. HTH@Erik Is there a way of sphinning the current URL you are on - without typing out the URL into the Ubiquity prompt? I couldn’t seem to make that work (or is that coming in v.2?). Definitely an interesting plugin though.
Hmm...I did see that pop up thing when I went to another of Erik’s posts (on mysql) but for some reason it’s not showing for me on the sphinn one. Prolly just need a reboot or something...
@ Nick:Currently if you want to sphinn the page your looking at, you need to type "shinn " and not "sphinn", at first I knew about this, but didn’t think anything of it, but now I notice that the digg command works fine wihtout the extra space, so I’ll try to fix my sphinn command today. I’ll make a not if I have an success, but if you have already to subscribed to the command, then you should get the update as soon as I make the upload, (if allow your subscribtion to be auto updated, which is default I think).Just to be clear too for anyone else, the url to get the command is:http://erikvold.com/tools/ubiquity/sphinn/sphinn.cfmThis sphinned page is for my blog post on the comannd.
Lol, I think the Ubiquity update fixed this, because it’s working now, just type "sphinn" with Ubiquity 0.1.1 and that should work.
got it now, thanks, Erik. Looks like it works!
