Swypefile gets better

Ok, a quick little note about swypefile I thought I would pass along.
The popularity of swypefile is really taking off, and in order to help spread the word and improve user participation of the system, swypefile is running an incentive for user participation until the end of the year.
To quote from the updates section of the site:
While many of you are understandly focused on submitting content and referring people to swypefile, we really need you to vote on stuff you like, start discussions and add comments, and all of that too.
And to give you even more of an incentive to do so, here’s a bribe – between now and the end of the year you can earn “free referrals” based on your usage and participation.
Everything you do here at swypefile (including but not limited to submitting content, voting, commenting, etc.) will add to your “karma” value which you can view in your profile. Based on your karma level we’ll automatically assign a percentage of new users that don’t have a referer to you. How’s that for a deal?!
How’s that for some incentive!
Now for my opinion, not only on swypefile, but all other social bookmarking and networking sites. The one problem I see is when people “blindly” digg, zoom, or swype an article. Are you really adding value to the system or article by doing so?
When you just go through and start clicking without reading an article, do you really know what you are “approving” of as a quality article? I suggest that you take a moment and read the summary, and if you aren’t sure if it is worthy, then take a look at the article.
You might learn something more than what the title or summary is presenting, and you will also help yourself by promoting quality articles.
So, if you haven’t joined swypefile.com yet, why not check it out!
