EntreBar – EntreCard Toolbar

Leave a comment

A few days ago, I received three email updates from EntreCard about the launch of their EntreBar. Yes, I always will receive three emails from them unless I unsubscribe but I haven’t found the time to do it even if it is just a click away.

Anyway, there are people who found EntreCard useful and there are people who found EntreCard does not do anything for their blogs. As for me, I have no opinion. EntreCard gives me one or two random readers who come over to drop their cards.

I actually wanted to grab an image of their toolbar from the EntreCard blog but foing to the blog is awful. It totally lags that it hangs my browser and if you use tabbed browsing, I am sure you know what an awful experience it is. Besides, the blog does not have fluid width, so that explains why I hardly read the EntreCard blog.

Anyway, no, I am not going to use the EntreCard since it is a FireFox extension and FireFox is not my primary browser. I cannot understand why people love toolbars. It takes up space of your browser, don’t you think so? The only toolbars I sometimes use are the Google toolbar to check my pagerank when there is an update and the Web Development toolbar to check all my blogs and sites occasionally. I hide these toolbars when not in use. Otherwise, I only have the Navigation toolbar.

EntreCard Issues Warning On Quick Drop Pages

Leave a comment

A couple of days ago, I received three emails from EntreCard. They sent a strong message out to bloggers who are hosting Quick Drop Pages and those who still have these pages online on 1st July, 2008 will be banned from EntreCard.

EntreCard says that they have accumulated a long list of permalinks to Quick Drop Pages so come 1st July, they will just open all of these pages and then ban whoever who still have these pages online.

I think this is a great move by EntreCard to create a level playing field once again. I cannot understand why people are so obsessed with accumulating EntreCard points. Well, I know that we could sell these points for cash or use these points to advertise our EntreCard on top blogs. Still, I don’t see the point of going of the way to accumulate these points.

I have wanted to write on this a long time ago and it’s on my list of topics to write dated 11th April, 2008! LOL Now that EntreCard is finally making a stand on this, well, what an opportune time for me to write on this!

If you have a blog with EntreCard, I am sure you will know that once you publish a post, you will have your latest post published o the homepage of EntreCard.

Well, the problem is that, with twenty active blogs that are linked to my EntreCard account, there was not once that I noticed that my post is on the front page. Twenty blogs and not even once! Is that weird or what? Yet, I see the same blog posts stuck on the homepage for hours… and not too long ago, for DAYS!

No wonder I also did not notice any additional traffic from EntreCard from their homepage. HHmmm what is wrong? I NEED traffic no matter which corner of the web they come from.
