Hi everyone,
For those of you who do not know, we’ve officially launched aTokens.com, our sister site.
So, what is aTokens.com and how can it benefit Entrecard users?
aTokens.com is a virtual currency site similar to “Entrecard Credits” with some extra benefits. The benefits are that with aTokens.com, you can redeem your “Tokens” for cash rebates. This is something all our Entrecard users wanted in virtual currency that Entrecard does not offer. Next, you can send tokens to other members without paying any tax or transaction fee. This is another feature our Entrecarders wanted. Last, we’ve incorporated a Twitter like message system, which you can build followers and communicate with them in real time. This feature will allow you to network with others and allow you to promote your links so you can increase traffic to your site.
Where can I spend the tokens?
Our vision for aTokens is that you send them to anyone online as a form of payment. Again, the benefit is that you can send them to other users without paying any tax or transaction fee (like Paypal). This could save you lots of money if you’re doing a lot of transactions. Basically, you can spend them anywhere (just as long as the other party is willing to accept it).
Can I sell Entrecard credits for tokens?
Okay…you’ve twisted our arms. For the next 3 months, we will do an open market between aTokens and Entrecard. So, the answer is yes! You can sell or buy Entrecard credits from other users using Atokens.com currency. After 3 months, depending on the outcome, we may or may not continue with the open market.
Get your 10 FREE tokens (limited time only).
For the next 5 days, when you create an account on aTokens.com for the first time, we’ll giving you 10 FREE tokens. The coupon code for the 10 free tokens will be sent to the e-mail address you use during sign up. So give atokens.com a try! Please visit https://atokens.com/p/faq for more information.

Hi everyone!
Entrecard just added a few new features to the user’s detailed page (example: http://entrecard.com/details/132139).
1) Now, when accessing the detailed page, you’ll see a “Reviews” tab in which you can write a review for the blog/site in the Entrecard network. Please take a moment and write a nice review on your favorite blog/site on Entrecard. This is a great way to tell other members how much you appreciate their site/blog!
2) Can non-Entrecasrd members review my site/blog?
Yes! It’s easy. If they are not a member of Entrecard, they will see a login with facebook and twitter icons (see below). After they connect with facebook/twitter, they will be able to write a review for your site/blog.
3) How can I get more people to write a review?
Also on user detailed page, you’ll also notice a “Is this your site” link towards the top right hand side of the “Reviews” tab. This link will bring you an html source code linking directly to your Entrecard profile page. Feel free to copy and paste the html code on your site/blog. By doing so, you’re viewers and readers can click on it and it’ll bring them to your detailed page.

In a few weeks we will be launching entrecredits.com as a new site and we can’t wait! But we need help. There’s a lot to test, a userbase to build, and a UI to polish. As an Entrecarder you already have a strong understanding of how a credit-based economy works, so we’re offering EC users an opportunity to get in early on this new site and help us create something to expand and complement Entrecard.
If you’re keen to help out, curious to see what we’ve come up with and want to get some free credits to sweeten the deal, please visit entrecredits.com and add your email address to the list. We’ll send you an invite in a few weeks.
We can’t give out any more information at this time, but it’s going to be *awesome*.

100K credit cap:
Please note that by the end of this month, users are not allowed to have more than 100,000 credits in their account. If you are one of the few with more than 100K credits, you must spend them on ads, purchasing something in the marketplace, or sell them to other users. You have 7 days left! On March 31, 2010, the 100K credit cap will be in effect and we will automatically deduct credits from users that have over 100k, so please use this time to spend your credits.
Credit sales are no longer allowed:
Because of the 100K credit cap, we temporary gave users the options to sell their credits to other users. On March 31, 2010, credit sales are no longer allowed. So, if you want to sell your credits, please do them in the next few days. On March 31, 2010, we will be removing the “Buy/Sell Credits” from the marketplace.

One of the biggest complaints we’ve been hearing was that there are not enough places for our users to spend their EntreCredits. We have been making a few changes to address the problem. First, we’ve opened up the new Marketplace where users can freely spend their credits on other things beside widget ad purchases. For now, users also have the ability to sell their credits for cash. This gives our users an opportunity to make some money off their hard earned credits.
Next, we’ve opened up our EntreCredits API to 3rd party developers. This means developers can create any web applications and user EntreCredits as a currency. Since the launch of our API, we’re excited to introduce our first web application running on EntreCredits virtual currency. It’s a game that we’re all familiar with and available in all casinos. It’s blackjack!
Check out the game at http://blackjack.entrecredits.com/
Although the game is working properly, it’s still in beta. Be one of the first to play the game and give us your feedback. How it works is simple. First you need to login to the blackjack game using your Entrecard login. You can play up to 500 EC per hand. If you win, your winnings will automatically be credit to your Entrecard account. If you lose, the credits will be deducted from your account. Everything is logged in the “Transaction” tab in your dashboard. There is NO credit tax in the game.
Another thing to note is that when you’re playing the blackjack game, you are not playing against Entrecard (us); you’re actually playing against the developer of the game.
If you are a developer and like to create a web application using EntreCredits, please visit: http://entrecredits.com/developers/. We hope to have more applications running on EntreCredits soon.
Have fun and good luck at the tables!

Hi everyone,
We are excited to introduce our new open EntreCredits API platform where developers can integrate our EC virtual currency into their web applications. Developers can create sites like flash games, virtual gifts, cards games, puzzles, and more. Through our API, developers can use EC virtual currency as a payment method for those applications. Developers get to keep 100% of the credits earned. They can spend the credits in our new Marketplace or cash out on the credits by selling them to other users for real money.
The key advantage in having more applications run on EC virtual currency will benefit all our users greatly. It’ll give our users more places to spend their credits.
So, if you’re a developer and like to implement the EC currency into your web applications, please visit http://entrecredits.com/developers/ for more information. As bonus, we’re giving 50,000 EC to anyone that fully integrates with our platform. Contact us at support@entrecard.com if you have questions. We’re more than willing to help!

Our crew went into overtime to clean up all the sites in the Entrecard network. Thank you to those that reported sites to us for TOS violation. You made our job much easier! 
We had to remove more sites from the network than we anticipated. But I’m sure you will agree it’s better that way. As of now, sites and blogs in our network are in compliance with our TOS that we know of. There are no more sites with viruses and Trojans on Entrecard. You should not run into any pop up ads, redirects, outdated blogs, and non-English blogs. Please continue to report any sites that violates our TOS to us. With your help, we can keep the network super clean.
It’s only been a couple of days, but please give us your feedback. Have you seen improvements to the network as you’re dropping cards?
Written on March 3rd, 2010 by admin
Over the last couple of days, we have begun to really weed out sites on the Entrecard Network that does not comply with our TOS. As we realised, there’s a ton of work to do. It will take us several more days before everything is completed. Once we’re done, the community will be a bit smaller, but at least we can say with a fact that any site on the EC network will be of quality. Just a reminder, any sites that does not meet the requirements below will be removed from the system. We will also send an automated email to the site owner and if they are able to fix the problem, they can just reply back to the email and we will reevaluate. Thank you for your patience.
-
Blogs and Web sites: Blogs and Web sites are allowed on Entrecard.
-
No nudity: Entrecard, and its members blogs, are generally family friendly. Blogs with images containing nudity are not permitted. This includes nudity in advertisements.
-
English only: Until we develop the infrastructure necessary to facilitate non-English language blogs, English is the only language allowed in Entrecard.
-
Minimum 5 posts(blogs): Blogs with no posts, or less than 5 quality posts written within the last 3 months, will be removed.
-
Content must be original: Reproduced content does not provide the specific qualities we are looking for in the Entrecard network. This includes both sites that use legitimate reprintable content such as “free articles”, abstracts and public domain content as well as illegitimate, illegal content such as stolen content or scraped feeds. Duplicate content, such as posts that appear on two or more blogs belonging to the same person is also unacceptable.
-
No full-screen ads or popups: Blogs that include full-screen ads or popups will be removed. This includes any popup window that appears when the site has finished loading or when clicking to view an article. It is OK for links to display a popup window if the user clicks a link, e.g. FeedBurner email subscription, but popup ads or forceful messages asking people to subscribe without clicking anything are intrusive and therefore not allowed.
-
No illegal file downloads: Blogs that link to illegally shared files, such as music, movies or software, will be removed. By “illegal” we mean content that you do not have the right to distribute. Linking to free, legal music and software is permitted.
-

URL on their account will be deleted.
