Entrecard Thoughts Friday #9

By Casey | June 27, 2008

I’m back from vacation! That means I’m back with regular dropping! Thanks a lot to those who dropped whilst I could not reciprocate! I appreciate it. Now I can work on gathering sponsors for EntreBlast’s Summer Credit Splash!

This week’s question is related to blogging and vacations:

Do you bring your work with you on vacation? Do you blog while on vacation?

Entrecard’s On Twitter!

By Casey | June 26, 2008

Graham, owner of Entrecard.com, is doing a pretty good job trying to keep a community feel with Entrecard as well as being involved with the users that have made Entrecard successful. One way is by posting a link to his twitter profile. You can follow Graham Langdon on Twitter!

For those who are unfamiliar with Twitter, Twitter is a cool social networking site where you can follow your friends and see what they are doing, and update your friends on what you are up to! It’s a great way to get exposure for blog posts and sites, but it’s also useful in getting to know people you are aware of, like Graham for example.

You can follow me on Twitter too! The Entrecard community is invading Twitter!

Slow Dropping Week for EntreBlast

By Casey | June 23, 2008

So it’s been a bit quite for us in the dropping department this weekend. I apologize for not being able to drop! I’m on vacation with limited, slow internet access and it’s a pain in the butt trying to load some 50 websites! I will try my best to drop this week, but things will be back to normal on Friday when I return home! In the meantime, subscribe to EntreBlast so you don’t miss new posts due to the lack of dropping! See, I’m sure you’ll forget to visit if you’re visit is due to reciprocating a drop. Just because I can’t return your drops this week doesn’t mean I won’t dish out new content!

Sponsor EntreBlast’s Summer Credit Splash!

By Casey | June 19, 2008

Like the name? So the last post mentioned an EntreBlast contest was just basically rambling. I was celebrating the entrance into the top 100k of Alexa and the next thing you know I’m asking for a bunch of different stuff to sponsor a huge giveaway. Well, I’ve now come to my senses and I realize that I don’t want to giveaway a ton of variety of stuff- that would just make it confusing and potentially disastrous. Let’s stick with just Entrecard credits.

Donate to the EntreBlast Summer Credit Splash

You can donate ECs to the contest via my Entrecard profile. Then click on ‘Give Credits to This Site’. Your credits will remain securely in my account and I will distribute all EC prizes to the winners. It’s preferable that you donate in even 00 increments (100, 200, 400, 1000, 5000, etc). Any amount of ECs is appreciated! However, if you want a link to your blog on the sponsors list there is a minimum required! These are set to shorten the list and reward those that helped support the contest the most!

400 or less: Thanks for the donation! You won’t appear on the sponsors list but we’ll still thank you.

500: Minimum to appear on sponsors list. You’ll be on the list but it won’t be required for contest entrants to link to you when they publish the list on their blog. This is to shorten the list so it’s not spammy looking.

1000 (to 4000): Thanks! You’ll appear on the sponsors list and be included in the link-to-sponsors-for-an-entry section.

5000 (to 9000): Awesome! Thanks for sponsoring! You’ll appear higher on the list in a separated section.

10,000+: Wow! You’ll be on the top of the list plus you’ll receive a month’s worth of advertising on EntreBlast for free!

Entrecard Credit Booster Contest

By Casey | June 18, 2008

How would you like to win 10,000 ECs? What if all you had to do was blog about it?

What About Brazil has launched a new monthly contest and is giving away 10,000 ECs to the blog that sends them the most traffic. So, all you have to do is write a blog post either about the contest or the site, and you’re in. There are no specific requirements for writing the blog post, but something brief and sloppy probably won’t attract your readers to check out the blog! The contest’s deadline is July 31st, so you have over an entire month to enter!

Psst… The chances of winning are pretty good right now. Only 3 people have submitted article links in the contest post, which you have to do in order to be entered. You might as well give it a shot! Who knows, you might end up 10,000 ECs richer!

New Entrecard Forum Category

By Casey | June 17, 2008

With recent drama among the Entrecard forums, changes are made! A new category in the Entrecard forum has appeared called ‘Firestorm’. It’s for everyone who wants to rant! The description makes it clear what it’s for:

“Hostile, aggressive, uncivil posts only. You have been warned.”

Welp! If you feel like letting off some steam- maybe you’re tired of slow loading times or spammy blogs on Entrecard- than check out Firestorm.

Update: Well, it didn’t last very long. In less than 24 hours, the Firestorm category has been closed. Whether it’ll come back up, it’s doubtful.
