Entrecard was recently aquired by LA based Ziprunner and it looks like they’ve started to make some changes. The image above shows the link to their new video that helps to explain what the point of Entrecard really is. According to an email from Graham Langdon, founder of Entrecard, he will become more of an advisor and has started a new blog at Ontrapranore.com:
ZipRunner Inc. was chosen out of a number of potential suitors because
of the resources they can dedicate to the project, their exciting
vision for the company’s future, and their understanding of social
media and the blogosphere.
In all honesty, I haven’t been that deep into the Entrecard community, but I have been somewhat active there and I’m hoping their purchase will make the service more useful to more people. Many may think that Entrecard will simply increase your bounce rate and won’t bring you any quality visitors, but this is definitely false. I have made many connections via Entrecard and I don’t plan to stop using it any time soon. It’s just another tool to use to find little known bloggers who post stuff I might like. I also appeciate the fact that other bloggers, most of them serious, are taking the time to take a look at my blog.
If you have an Entrecard account, don’t forget to drop a card here and add me to your favorites. I know I’ve been slacking on my dropping, but I’m working on it and having some fresh blogs in my Entrecard inbox would definitely help.
