Plus Factory helped launch the new website from Spinspotter.com, called uSpin.me. If you don’t know who Spinspotter.com is, they are a media company that created special software allowing users to mark webpages that have ‘spin’ on them. New York Times did a great profile on them which you can read here.

Spinspotter.com wanted a separate web property that would leverage their technology but make it easier for readers to see if any particular URL had spin on it, hence the creation of http://www.uSpin.me

This website (really a web application), will query any submitted URL into the Spinspotter.com engine, and report back if there was any ‘spin’ reported on it. With Spinspotter.com being a start-up and fairly new, the best sites to test the uSpin.me site would be pages from news organizations like CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, etc. Those are where you will see many pages marked for ‘spin’ by Spinspotter.com users.

Plus Factory designed, built and help Spinspotter.com implement this site with their already built technology.

Spinspotter has changed their branding from Spinspotter.com to Sparknotes.com. Due to the recent change the uSpin.me site is currently down while they re-configure the branding for that site as well.
