So Who's Running Entrecard - REALLY ?

OMG...

yeah OMG,,, we got a comment that changed our view of this whole Entrecard Thing. it was from Entrecard Dropper Sheila - of  The Ad Master. She left her comments ON EntrePOD . her comment hit us in the forehead like a train running through dc at rush hour.

check this out:

Sheila : Are we even sure that "cindy" isn't another certain person who likes to masquerade under an alias?

and My Reply : Have Mercy Sheila - You Are Absolutely Right - OH MY GOD,, How Do We Know Who These Folks Are ?

ok you win, thats the next post inspired by you. so here we gooooo

the suggestion was so spot on. We had to assume that her assumption couldn't make us asses; since we are of course Bloggers. LOL (yes this was our "obligatory" mime joke)

now otoh, we have to look at the masquerades we've all seen before from the Entrecard Posse'. the message has been and still apparently remains the same,

we don't care if you think you know who is running this thang, cause we will run it into the ground if we want to; and you won't have a word to say about it. nor  will you ever be sure of who is doing the driving.. (oh-yeah, just lean with it, and rock with it they say)

Do We  All Remember when Graham masqueraded as An Asian Women a few months back

The Trick (smdh) was unmasked by members - which resulted in him closing the forums and beginning the long walk to nowhere; that we are presently on, with somebody... yeah this is the somebody mime

WE Say Somebody because Sheila put it right out there for us

we aren't denying that we have no idea of who these people are and for that matter what they are doing. this is like a poker game without rules - which change on a daily basis, never remaining the same for any peroid of time. always shifting through time and circumstance. quite odd to say the kindest.

Do you know who these shapeshifters really are ?

If you do - why don't you tell the rest of us

Oneday we have Graham and Phirate and the next day we get Andrew and Cindy; Hmmmmm isn't it strange they come in pairs, like bookends ?

Do you really believe there is a new management team in place;  or is this the same old crew, pretending again?

Please Think About it and Leave Us a Comment - Everybody wants to know,

this appears to be one of the hottest threads around Entrecard, and we want to know what you think; since they are apparently listening and reading our responses as evidenced by their drop earlier this week.

So Who Is Really Running Entrecard ?

Can We Fix It Y'all - Entrecard needs a Bailout

Earlier tonite I wrote a response in the comments to this post on Entrecard.

I'm sure I'll be put through the shredder for the hard stance I advocate. but my honesty should not be a suprise to any of my regular visitors.

I am totally against Paid Posts Blogs being in Entrecard; as well as Clickfarmers - who only live to hit the magic 300 on each of their many accounts daily, without any regard for the bouncerate or content of the bloggers they rob daily. Please take a moment and read grahams post by clicking the link below inorder to get clarity on my response below. I know it may suprise many of you that I am taking this tone,

But I Am a Blogger and I Love BLOGS.

Taking action against the bounce rate

(Written on June 30th, 2009 by Graham)

Graham: just a few thoughts after giving this a few days to digest more fully:

IMHO, the real problem is that EC's are being treated like Money; and they're NOT.

if people could learn that; we'd have Less "300 click a day" Clickfarmers; and a whole lot less splogs in the categories. Quite Simply, paying people to cash out in cash; instead of recycling the ec's back into the system is what really feeds the problem..

The Remedy is Simple

1. Return To a Non Cash for ec buyout ; and stop selling EC's.

2. reduce the maximum amount of clicks per day to a more managable maximum for the system; closer to 50 per account.

3. hire some behind the scenes techs to clean up the splogs and eradicate the dead blogs in the categories -

get it back to what it should be if you really want to count your Active population, Accurately.

click the image to read the blog telling you why you should not use entrecard as a clickfarm if you use adsense

4. Remove any duplicate or paid post blogs immediately, since they are not blogs inessence; and are the biggest pay-out items.

This is especially a conflict of interest with bloggers who blog for the love of writing; and they see the problem clearly, since these splogs are ADS, and that is a direct violation of the existent tos.

A Paid Post IS An AD
there is no way around it

Then Graham, you can put entrecard on the auction block as a clean and lean social networking machine. that's what makes a sale, not consistent policy changes that do nothing to stabilize the economy or political structure of the unit itself.Remember to Listen to the People; As They Support Themselves. To Put the Spark back in - Make it once again about the members, instead of CASH OUTS.

End the payouts and you will be making the first step toward strengthening the whole.

then stop approving multiple blogs which are clearly splogs, that dilute the pool of quality blogs. those splogs drop the value as quickly as the clickfarmers.

IMHO, then - entrecard can recover and rebound as a member driven and fed unit.
