What's driving Entrecards members crazy?


What's new with entrecard that's driving its members crazy?


For the last two weeks various improvements are happening at entrecard and members are I believe getting a bit crazy about this fast-fast improvements.

But one thing for sure the members are getting involved and engaged. I am wondering how this entrecard bandwagon could be utilized to some overwhelming changes online. I believe if the power is harness properly then this online community could very well be a potent force
to contend with on the internet.

The last time was a call to have a digg so I added several people now on my digg but I think of the 600 people only 10 or so would digg the news I shouted to them. So am not sure what entrcarders could make out with the so many people on digg now.

Then comes the comment bomb, well it was good to see entrecarders commenting in someone else's blog imagine a hundred for a single post, that is something. For my blog I think the biggest number of commenters I have is 30 over a long period of time.

Then still not satisfied with comment bomb, now a more systematic way of commenting is put in place through the new and official partnership between Entrecard's and SezWho. As of writing I believe thousand of members of entrecard have installed the widget already on their site so that's another accessory or widget aside from the bloggers entrecard banner. Well for me blog I have streamlined a bit and put banners s-me I could not see anymore inside a page so I just created a link to those widgets.

So whats going to happen now with SezWho - entrecard members will be encourage not only to drop their card on somebody else's blog but to readand comment sincerely. This way members gets to interact with other members and in the process earning points.

Below is the letter I received from the Entrecard team explaining more about the benefit of the partnerhsip with SezWho.

SezWho is my new favorite thing on the internet. I'm hoping that enough bloggers will use the system correctly, rate all comments they see, and comment as much as they can. Even you didn't get credit for comments, I would still comment, and still use SezWho.

The problem with the Digg thing was that too many people were submitting and digging posts that had no right to be on Digg. Too much of it was spam, poorly written, and would have no usefulness to anybody but the blog author. Plus the shout system is abused so that these junk stories get sent to everybody, then nobody actually gets on to digg the good stuff.

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens. This is the scene at the park now. Colorful lanterns adorn the pathway - to enlighten seekers of truth, maybe? Trees are full of flowers soon they will disappear. But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

Ihip ng Hangin - Saranggola ni Pepe

Image
Matayog ang lipad ng saranggola ni Pepe Matayog ang pangarap ng matandang bingi Hinuli ang ibon, pinagsuot ng pantalon Tinali ng pisi, hindi na nagsinturon Dumaan ang jeepney at gumuhit pa sa kalye Mauling ang iniwang hindi na tinabi Nay...nay...nay...nay... (Awit ni Celeste Legaspi) This photo was taken last 5th of May, Children's Day of Korea, it was a holiday so the park was teeming with children and their parents. It was windy so kites made their presence on the sky. But it was the adults (their dad) who enjoyed flying kite the most, it was them who controlled the kite's thread to keep it afloat. So some of the kids were protesting to have the chance to play with the the kite. I am so glad to find this video from You Tube since it is children related as well. The music was performed by a children's choir (kids of Overseas Filipino Workers) based in Jeddah, KSA. Read the comments made by the owner of the video. I hope that these children understand and appreciate ...
