Summary:
Article Spinning is all about varying an article so it looks new and unique to the search engines and article directories stuff, without spending the time to really create a new article.
Name of the pattern:
Article Spinning
When to use the pattern:
When you are using an article marketing, and need tons of articles with specific keywords fast.
Keep in mind, that a lot of times it may also have negative effects. You are doing trade-offs of quantity vs. quality here, and while perfect quality may be not that important, falling below some quality bar may be devastating as well.
How to use the pattern:
While there is a wider definition of article spinning above, it's normally applied to automatic article spinning done by specialized software called article spinners. So, all you do is:
1. Buy article spinning software
2. Write an article
3. Push it through the article spinner
4. [Important with the most article spinners] Do quality control, really read the resulting articles, and brush up odd stuff that article spinner introduced.
5. Submit gnerated articles into different directories and other places, where you wanted them.
6. Go to step 2. Repeat as needed.
Attribution:
None really. Too many people, probably, come up with this idea after spending hours writing unique articles.

Synonym based automatic article spinning
Details and comments:
First thing I would recommend is to avoid synonym based automatic article spinners, unless you have a very good recommendations about some specific product from somebody whom you really trust. The principle of such spinners is to replace words with random synonyms, as well as to alternate sentence structure in some reasonably ok way. Unfortunately, in most cases that does not really work. For example, "craze" and "crazy" are synonyms, but the sentence "Red ties are a craze these times" carries a completely different meaning than "Red ties are crazy today." A statement about fashion somehow becomes a statement about some group of people referred to as "red ties". Check out more of my rant on the topic of article spinners and why they are not so great.
That said, if you really want an article spinner, get it in a bundled package with an article submitter. Magic Article Rewriter and Magic Article Submitter by Alexandr Krulik for $80 for both article spinner and an article submitter may be a good choice.
