The Evolution of Entrecard - Is it a bad thing?

Written by Lee Doyle on May 19, 2008 – 10:11 pm

I have not been with Entrecard since the start but I have been there a long time and would call my self a regular user. As you may have read I have been having some issues with Entrecard and how it has evolved. This week we saw some new features come to light, a lot of them people have been asking for for some time:

(More info here)

  • ADD MULTIPLE BLOGS TO YOUR ACCOUNT

  • ENTRECARD OFFICIAL E-BOOK
    Download PDF Now

  • MULTI BLOG CONTEST - WIN 15,000 CREDITS!

  • NEW HOMEPAGE

  • NEW CAMPAIGN PAGE TABS

  • TOP DROPPERS RSS FEED

As you can see the EC Admin has been a very busy man and has done some amazing work!

But my question is: Is Entrecard evolving to fast?

I sometimes believe some things in life are meant to be simple and when you go and add loads of things it breaks… People get too much of a good thing and get sick of the taste.

Look at Google and how simple it is compared to Yahoo! and MSN. Just the basics and it works! Yahoo! has everything you could ever need but it is crammed in your face with all the bells and whistles jumping out at you… Google does have tons of features but they are never overdone and they keep to basics.

I think this “Add more blogs” is a bad idea. They are pushing this with the contest so more people will sign up… But this will then cause a lot of spam sites popping up and more credits in the economy… Will these credits just be given for adverts? I don’t think so… You will get farms pop-up as now it is more easy to drop… and be DROPPED ON.

I know this feature has been asked for a million times on the forums and it has been needed….

Maybe this is just me getting old and moaning about change… if it is then just move on… But if this is overdoing it with Entrecard then it could be the tipping point for some people.
