Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!
Written by Lee Doyle on July 20, 2008 – 2:09 am
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!
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!!!

Alexa Ranking 247,763! Crazy
Written by Lee Doyle on February 20, 2008 – 10:53 amThis past month has been crazy! I have had to renew my bandwidth twice, have to check my email every 30mins for all this amazing people emailing me, my “u drop, I follow” badge is getting bigger by the day… All this has happened since January.
Before January I had only a few thousand hits (If i was lucky) and only a few comments a week… Now I get tons of comments and too many hits that I can cope with.
I would love to thank so many people but as I can not mention many names I will have to hope you know who you are. the stories and situations you have all shared with me has been unforgettable. I thought my situation was bad but now I see that my case is just a small pin prick of what the police and Social Services have done to many families and children allover the UK.
I would also like to thank Entrecard for your amazing product and all the users who have got me to the top of the personal blogging section! No matter what happens, I hope that this amazing site can grow into the ultimate blogging force.
Here is my graph of my hits, one funny thing about it is that if you turn it upside down it also will show you how Social Services are doing in child welfare…. Weird!
