EIOBA is an new venture into what seems to be a never-ending growing population of article publishing sites.

If you have used sites like digg.com, del.ico.us, etc you are well familiar with the basic concept of sharing content/articles with other like-minded people on the internet and have your submitted content receive popularity votes to push it further into the spotlight. EIOBA is ‘the same but different’. Each article submitted has to be exclusively written and published through EIOBA. This may of course sound as if they automatically cut themself off from 90% of the available content out there but if you have ever browsed through a high number of the submitted links at digg during some extremely lazy Sunday afternoon - then you may actually appreciate this.

EIOBA is attempting to promote is a combined [exclusive] article publishing site - with a ‘voting’ system built in.

The profile features at EIOBA is where the site really starts to shine and where the site starts to feel unique. Your personal profile keeps track of articles you’ve read, written, commented on, marked as favorites - and even a place for you to save articles that you intend to come back to later and read.

You don’t have to write your material at EIOBA as you have the option to upload your articles as long as they are saved in DOC, RTF or ODT format.

As you, through your articles and review work, gain more ’status’ on the site you can join/create groups with others that share your interests and if well managed this could be a great creative forum/tool similar to traditional writing groups.

A very interesting site, well written and with a great concept. Check it out over at www.EIOBA.com
