Introducing Entrecard Weekly Roundup

By Casey | October 4, 2008

Another weekly event here on EntreBlast is called the Entrecard Weekly Roundup. Every Saturday (well, almost every Saturday, depending whether Entrecard is busy or not) I’ll summarize what’s been going on in the Entrecard community, from new blog posts to hot forum discussions. The goal here is to give you the latest Entrecard news in a tidbit post.

This week was super busy at Entrecard- a new partnership, economic system changes, and Graham giving out free ECs like crazy!

Changes in Entrecard Economy

Eight changes have been made regarding the economy of Entrecard. The shop is closed temporarily, selling credits is not allowed, and there is now a tax and cap on EC transfers. Visit this post to learn more:  New Entrecard Economy Changes.

Entrecard is NOT Being Sold

After an overwelming response to the listing of Entrecard on sitepoint by Graham, he has decided not to sell Entrecard. I think it’s the right descision because Entrecard is something Graham is truly passionate about. Instead, he plans to continue heading thus huge community and furthur improve it. An insight into this can be seen from the latest changes involving the Entrecard economy.

Entrecard Partners with OIOPublisher

With the latest 2.0 release of OIOPublisher, Entrecard has been integrated into the ad serving plugin. This means you can now pay with Entrecard credits for ads depending if the seller has activated it. This is so far the best site Entrecard has teamed up with to bring a useful feature. OIOPublisher is just $47, and most people make that up and more with the plugin. You can buy a header ad spot for just 4000 ECs/month on EntreBlast now!

Free Entrecard Credits in the Forums

Graham has been on a free Entrecard credits spree lately on the forums. Quite a few threads have been posted recently titled, “first person to reply to this thread gets x,xxx credits”. The amount of ECs have varied from 1,000 ECs to even 3,000 and although most have been found in the community section, they have been spotted in other sections as well.

Graham is Homeless

Another topic in the Community Entrecard forums is Graham’s current home- or lack of. The gap between his old apartment and his new place is 5 days. Instead of staying at a hotel, he’s been camping out on the beach. Recently Graham was even attacked by a sea lion! Only one more day to go, you can do it Graham!

Whew! One of the busiest weeks at Entrecard certainly! That’s your news for this week! What do you think of this new feature here?
