If you're confused by Xombytes and Xomblurbs when writing at Xomba, you don't need to be confused any longer. Xomba is now simply referring to them as Articles and Bookmarks, which is a lot less confusing. To summarize:Bookmarks (the old Xomblurbs) allow you to link to any other site or article on the web - including your eHow articles - by just copying the URL and writing a 50 word description. Articles (the old Xombytes) are full-blown articles, but are still very easy to write with only 150 words required. I can usually create a Bookmark of one of my eHow articles in under a minute.
I am still in the process of bookmarking all of my eHow articles on Xomba. I like the idea of backlinking all of my eHow articles and creating an additional residual income stream for me at the same time. To date I have written eight articles and entered 161 bookmarks at Xomba and have earned $10.92 in the process.

It looks like you are earning a good amount from xomba for very little work (since it only takes you about a minute to post a bookmark). I signed up for xomba about a week ago but haven't done anything yet. I think I will try to make some links to my ehow articles tonight. Thanks for the info.
Clark - Exactly. The bookmarks are easy to write. I try to do about ten in a sitting. I'm just about 40 away from having my whole eHow library bookmarked.
Let me know what your experience is at Xomba.
I like that they changed xomblurbs and xombytes to bookmarks and articles. Sounds more professional when you are talking about them.
I have been there less than a month and I think I am doing pretty good.
Laura, that's awesome! Have you applied to be a feature author? They have several categories that need them and it's not very time intensive.
Pretty cool stuff. I was confused when I first visited xomba. $10 is not that bad. My first post on xomba got earned me $4.95 in my first day!
It was a one off thing though because I posted something I knew a lot of people would be searching for on that day. I am thinking of starting my own internet marketing / make money online blog. I'll let you know fi I do
Julie - So which option (bookmark or article) do you prefer? Are the links on Xomba dofollow? I have only written a few things there in the past, but didn't like how they named things. Based on this chance, I may need to revisit that thought.
Thanks for the update!
John, I prefer bookmarks because they are so much easier and faster to write. I have about 200 bookmarks vs. 20 articles. The links are nofollow at the present time, although Xomba is considering a way to offer certain writers an opportunity to create dofollow links.
