Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!

Scoutle is a new blogging tool that follows in the footsteps of sites such as Entrecard and Spottt. It does have a twist to it that is unlike the others though. With Entrecard you need to spend a lot of time dropping card and promoting your blog… But with Scoutle you have a tiny little slave to do all of the work for you!

Meet your Scout (I call mine Nicole) and she walks around my fave blogs who also use Scoutle! She finds all the interesting posts I may like and send them to my widget on my blog.

All I do is find new blogs I like and get Nicole to say hi for me. She will then go walking around all of my fave blogs and meet other Scouts and as she talks to them she finds out new things.

Here is a video that tries to explain how everything works:

I have only been with this network for a week and have found some cool sites. It has a nice ranking system that I have not totally worked out yet though I am told that they are working on a new version of Scoutle that should be out soon!

One cool thing I really liked about Scoutle is that you can sign up using OpenID. This is one of the first networks I have seen do this, which is awesome!

When you sign up (Do it now to get more points!) please remember to add me to your network!

Add me to your connections!

Here is some info from the Scoutle website:

1. Sign Up & Login

Sign up, activate your account and login.

2. Create a Scout and let him walk

Your Scout is your personal webcrawler. He will walk over the Internet and meet other Scouts. To help your Scout walk, give him some space by installing the small Stage on your website. This will not only activate your Scout, but will also bring other Scouts to your website.

3. Check & Connect

The Scouts your Scout will meet are selected based on a range of criteria, like interests, networks, connections and more. Be sure to check his results every now and then, visit the websites and if you find them interesting, start a Connection. This will help your website become more valuable.

4. Grow & More

You will not only see more visitors come to your website, but you will also get more points, which means your website is more appreciated. Discover all other options Scoutle has to offer. Create or join Networks or search in the Guide. Of course, new options will be available in the future as well. A new way of browsing the Internet is born!

HAVE FUN!!!

   Have you noticed any increase in traffic with this? You’ve really piqued my interest.

   @Tyler

   I would say that my traffic has only increased by a small amount (Around 1-5% from Scoutle).

   What you need to remember is Scoutle is new and is a People network. As with any network it needs people to blog about it to create interest…. I am sure with V2 on its way it will grow more and so will the traffic.

   The main reason for me using it right now is because of the spider device. Once the bloggers start using it i am sure it will turn into a great community of bloggers.
