Entrecard Malfunction Has Bloggers in Tizzy (Again)

This is hilarious! Entrecard is down for the count (again) - and the usual cast of characters er, bloggers, are all excited! I've told them they'd be better off updating their blogs or at least writing something intelligent! But they're addicted to dropping EC's and they can't stop!

One of the disadvantages to putting all your blog-eggs in one or two baskets surfaces when one of the baskets tips over.

Long long ago I ceased to depend on any outside widget, product or service to "always be there" for me. (I even download my entire blog regularly so I have a copy should anything happen to blogspot).

And don't get me going on "cloud computing" which is a fancy way of covering up the fact that you will no longer have the ability to keep and control ownership of your own data - be that data in the form of photographs, blog posts, instant messenger and SMS conversations... whatever.

I prefer to have as much as possible STORED on my computer! That goes for emails, blogs, photos, videos, etc. Sure, I'll have them stowed away "up there" - but it is always best to keep files saved you can work on stuff if you cannot get online!

You can store and access gmail, your gmail calendar, facebook & twitter, your blog*spot or wordpress blog, right on your machine. I have all of these files "locked" in a password-protected file on my pc.

I get a chuckle nowadays whenever Entrecard burps. (It's nothing new!) Suddenly, shorts and panties everywhere are knotted in a proverbial bunch. It must especially hard for the obesessive-compulsive EC droppers like Mariuca, who displays ec widgets on four blogs and drops 1200 a day! Whew! Get a life, sister!

The news today is that there are some problems with the EC interface. Here's what the crew is crying about:

We'll lead off with Dickster - I commneted on all of these posts, so if you don't see my comments, they weren't approved! Here's another: "again entrecard is screwed up.I cannot access it to switch from my different card sites. BOO HISS ENTRECARD ,anyone else having this problem??"

"It's almost 24 hours now and entrecard is still down. I wonder when it will be up again."

For bloggers thinking of signing up with EntreCard, John Greco is the EC MASTER!

cmf ads has ceased to exist...
