Homepage Startup And The Entrecard Dilemma

Homepage Startup is a nice little website that allows an internet user to display thumbnails of his favorite websites. Instead of clicking on your bookmark or having to memorize all the internet addresses that you like, all you have to do is assign a box/thumbnail for each of these websites. That way, should you need to go to a particular website all you have to do is click the appropriate boxes. This makes things really easy especially if you point your homepage to the HomepageStartup you created. The site is free and registering to the site is quick and easy.

At first glance, there really is nothing extraordinary to this site. In fact it’s pretty harmless. Sure it’s cool and makes things easier but a lot of sites are cool and make things easier too.

But you see, while most folks see a regular, helpful, efficiency enhancing website, my somewhat perverted mind sees something else. Are you seeing what I’m seeing? Because what I’m seeing is a beautiful farm.

A beautiful Entrecard Farm– ripe, mature, and ready for harvest.

Now how do you create something like this. It’s actually very simple.

1. Register at HomepageStartup.com
2. Go over to the sites with Entrecard Widgets.
3. Right-click on the Entrecard Drop button, then Copy Location.
4. In the website space for each of the boxes, paste the copied Link Location.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until satisfied.

Once you’ve cultivated your farm, and you’re ready to drop your cards, all you have to do is press on the Ctrl key, and then click as fast as you can on each of the thumbnails.

Now here are the Entrecard Parameters.

1. For each of your account, you can only drop as much as 300 cards a day.
2. If you have multiple Entrecard accounts, you can only drop as much as 600/day. That’s the cap given for every IP address. However, if you have a lot of computers, and a lot of profiles, then the number can go as high as the number of computers you have. If you’re very good at masking IP addresses and you can pass the server test, then there’s no limit to the number of cards you can drop.

Where do you find all those websites with Entrecard Widgets? It’s not that hard as they’re all over the place or you can just search for that Entrecard Power Dropping Site. There’s a list there of all these fast loading blogs.

Another thing about this website is that you can make as many 12 boxes/page tabs as you want. And if there’s not enough space, you can just create another account.

Ethical Considerations

Should you be doing this? The answer is no. But let’s face it, how many of the Entrecard Droppers actually stop and smell the roses of the blogs they visited after dropping their cards? Most folks are just concerned with dropping their cards thus the bounce rate of Entrecard visitors is pretty high.

All I’m saying is for those who want to exploit the point gathering system of Entrecard, there are ways. This is one of them.

Commented On

Commented On is a new application that you folks may be interested in. This is a bookmarking application that keeps track of all the sites where you have placed a comment. Oftentimes we just place a comment on a blog we may have just stumbled on and then forget all about that comment.

This has been a nagging problem with me before, especially during my rampant bloghopping days. I’d just comment away and forget all about it as I move to another blog. Sometimes I feel really frustrated because some of those blogs that I’ve visited are really good and I would have really wanted to visit them again. So much so that I was contemplating of creating some sort of a mash-up that would allow me to store all my comments and the related sites where those comments were submitted. Thankfully, with Comment On, I didn’t have to create one. Not that I would be able to create one anyway.

I think the only thing here is if you have a lot of blogs and you use a lot of pen names or aliases. I haven’t really tried creating multiple accounts but I believe it should be possible.

Check this one out, it would surely be worth your while.

3 To 4 Then 3 Again And Then Back To 4

**Latest Update

And for some reason, my PR has now gone back up to PR4. lol. This is a rollercoaster ride I’m telling ya.

**Update

Looks like there’s some pendulum-swinging going on. Earlier today I got excited over the PR bump I thought I got from Google. I checked the PRcheckers around and the bump was confirmed. After a few hours however, I landed back to earth. With a thud. Looks like Google is still fine tuning its update so I’m now back to my curvaceous PR3 although some site checkers still insist that I got the bump. Oh well better not get too excited. Weh.

Forgive my immodesty dear visitor, but if you will kindly direct your attention to your google toolbar, the part where they show the page rank of this blog, you may notice that there are far more green there than you may have been accustomed to.

That’s right, google’s at it again. The PR ranking system has been updated and I am, proudly and unabashedly, happy to say that my little PR 3 was given a little bump in the posterior. I thought it was just one of those residual PRs from other far more significant blogs, but when I checked it at prchecker.info and domainpr.com, my hopes were confirmed. This blog’s page rank is now at sweet number 4.

Now what does this mean? Absolutely nothing. lol. Except when people start pounding on my doors wanting to advertise on my blog(as if that would happen) and in which case, I may be forced to provide premium pricing– this being a PR4 blog and all.

Oh well, this is wishful thinking but hey, it’s always nice to dream.
