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.


Scoutle.com

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 :P 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!!!

Entrecard loves SezWho! Kissy kissy

The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.

I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for New Infocredits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!

I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.

I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.

Getting started

The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.

So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!

I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).

Handing in the badge

Entrecard MODI have decided that I do not have the time to be a MOD for Entrecard anymore. I have so much going on with other things and no time to do the normal modding duties that I am meant to do. It is not just Modding forums it also involves modding websites and dealing with PMs and Emails. It has just got way to much for me to deal with ontop of my normal jobs. I can now spend more time helping people in need and thinking of new ideas for Entrecard :)

I think I would be best suited to being a normal Entrecard member and having less restrictions in what I can say.

i would like to thank Graham and Richard for their help and understanding through my times of need. I would also like to say sorry for not being able to put as much time into it as I would like to have.

A big thanks to the whole MODDING team! I hope to still keep adding to the community and help take Entrecard further.

This has nothing to do with Entrecard, it is just my personal life and time restrictions I have.

The Entrecard Conspiracy (The EC-Files)

Entrecard - FilesIf your a blogger I am sure you have seen the posts floating around about my so called power trip and all these things I am meant to have done. I have so much going on in the real world that most of it has not affected me whatsoever… But some has as it has been made personal.

I will try to explain some things that happened that I believe have been misunderstood or people have got completely wrong. I would also like to use this post to say sorry to a few people.

  • I never banned any forum poster.
  • I moved and deleted posts that broke rules.

I believe I was in a no-win situation. If I left these posts open I would be seen as a bad MOD not doing my job, if I closed them I would offend people who wanted the posts open. I decided to look after the easy going forum posters who did not want to see aggressive posts on the forum.

A lot of people will have you believe once the Firestorm forum was open they were happy and never bothered anyone as they had their own sandpit to do what they liked in… This was not the case as they continued to post “Recruitment” style posts and would ruin perfectly good posts on the normal forum to a point no one would post there.

From here on, I want to build bridges.

I will take more advice from MOD’s and Admins from now on. I will try to think about things before acting on them, and take more time to stop this from happening again. I do accept some blame for this situation, I was new and have never modded a forum for bloggers before.

i would also like to say a big Sorry to Stan from Razzball as I never gave him credit which he deserved for coming up the consept for u drop I follow. Sorry for not doing this sooner, and sorry if I have caused any bad blood between us. Here is a link to the original post
