ON THE VERGE!
After going through all of the contest entries this morning, which I found by searching google for blog posts with “Entrecard Market” in the title, I wrote down each entry onto a scrip of paper and pulled them out of a hat. Congratulations ON THE VERGE, I have just transferred you a WHOPPING 100,000 Credits! Maybe she’ll write a guest post on how she spent them?
And now, for Top Dropper Day. Last month, we started an official “Top Dropper Day” on the last day of the month to thank our Top Droppers (found on your Entrecard statistics page) and gave them some link love. So, here are our Top Droppers for February!

Yesterday I did some shopping in the Entrecard Market. Here’s what I bought:
Set of 4 Word Stones
25 Marvel Heroclix Figures
A Bottled Blend of Essential Oils
Steampunk Ring
Mix Cd
Sheet of Elvis Stamps
So I just want to say thank you to all the awesome sellers offering great stuff in the Marketplace. By far the biggest categories are “Advertising” and “Services” where you can get a .com domain or have a press release written.

Today we have a huge feature release, including:
-a shiny new Marketplace for you to sell any products and services for Entrecard Credits
-full social network integration for your profiles.
Marketplace
Our marketplace is fresh out of the oven and it is jam packed with features to make your shopping experience fun, enjoyable and productive. The best part is EVERYONE is automatically a seller, so simply by going to the shop you can immediately create listings for free. You can sell and product of service, blogging related or not.
A great improvement we have made to the Marketplace system is escrow. When you sell an item in our shop, and someone buys it, the credits from the buyer are automatically placed into an escrow account. When the Buyer received the item, they mark it as received and the credits are released to the seller.
So head on over to the Market to do some selling, or some shopping, and tell us what you think!
BONUS CONTEST:
We will be giving away a 1000 credits to the first HUNDRED members who list an item for sale in our shop and use images for their listing. Don’t think you have something to sell? Think harder! You can sell blog reviews, advertising on your blog, or that can of soup in your kitchen cupboard that you aren’t going to eat. To claim your prize, link to your item in the comments of this blog post. Again, the first 100 entries will receive 1000 credits (one prize per person).
Social Network Integration
We also rolled out a new feature I’m very excited about. If you notice my profile, it now has a link to my Twitter page!
We have integrated your profile with ten of the most popular social networks so that your networking on Entrecard can be more beneficial. Whether you use Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, MyBlogLog, etc. you can put links to them in your Entrecard Profile!
To add these links, go to your Entrecard Dashboard and scroll down until you see your “Entrecard” or image/avatar. Click the “Edit” button next to it, and you will be taken to the page where you edit your profile. And on that page you will see something that looks like this:
So go ahead, and enter any of your online identities so that all your Entrecard friends can find you in other places!
That’s it for now. Enjoy the new features!

Hey everyone, we’ve got an upgrade coming in shortly, over the next hour or two. It’s a pretty significant change for some areas of the site and this code is sparkly-new, which basically means it probably has some bugs and oddball bits and pieces about it that we haven’t managed to polish off in testing.
Please have patience as we get everything bedded down, and don’t panic if some things seem to be a bit out of whack. I will be starting a thread in the forum specifically for the upgrade so that people can get errors to the dev team quickly and easily without making the poor support crew guys panic.
Thanks everyone!

Wow, the last two months we’ve really seen a surge in our unique audience. Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who is making this project such a massive success! In the last two months, we’ve grown more than the previous 5 months combined!
We’ve got a lot in store for Entrecard, and a major release coming within the next day or so that you won’t want to miss!

Hi everyone, Entrecard will be having a maintenance outage at 8PM Boston time (EST, click for more timezones) lasting up to 2 hours. This routine maintenance operation allows us to rebuild and refresh our database and will result in faster service for EC users. We apologize for the inconvenience.
During the outage, widgets should load and display as normal, however dropping will not be possible.
