Razer Megasoma Review

Razer Megasoma is a hybrid of a hard and a soft mouse mat; If you love the softness of a soft mat but want to have the speed of a hard mat, Razer Megasoma delivers (this is debatable and I guess more like a personal preference). Razer Megasoma sits somewhere in between, combining the best [...]

Entrecard acquired by Ziprunner







by Michael Aulia on 17 July, 2009

in Industry News



EntrecardToday, Graham Langdon announced that Entrecard has been acquired by a company called Ziprunner Inc (whoever they are). Entrecard is a great community for bloggers and it has been well estalished for years. When I first joined Entrecard, I was just a small fish in the big pond (I’m a-bit-bigger-small-fish now but haven’t turned onto a whale yet). This blog’s PR was still 1 with an Alexa Rank over 2,000,000.

Through Entrecard, I met lots of wonderful bloggers (who are still actively reading and commenting on my blog, even though some of them have quitted Entrecard).

Through Entrecard, my blog’s Alexa rank went under the 300,000 mark ( my blog was ranked #1 for a few months in the Technology category at that time)

Entrecard Top Technology

and through Entrecard, I learnt how important it is to socialize and connect with the other bloggers.

We haven’t heard anything from Ziprunner yet, so it’ll be interesting to find out what will change. Hopefully for the better. They better be. I still have about 150,000 Entrecard Credits lying around on my Entrecard account.

The only thing I take exception to in this article is this statement “Entrecard is a great community for bloggers and it has been well estalished for years. ”

EC is far from being well established for years. It started in November 2007, so it’s only been around for 19 months.

Other than that, everything else you said is true- it was a great place to learn, to meet and to game the system with Alexa :D .

Sorry for my lack of research and you nail it well :D

I wonder what changes are being planned by ZipRunner, or if they intend to sell Entrecard on. It’s unusual for a veture capitalist to be involved in running a business.

I hope any changes are for the better.

From what I have heard, ZipRunner may have just be the original investor taking over the site. Source

Like you, I have seen some great results from Entrecard and I am excited to see what will happen in the future. I predict it will become much better than it was.

Definitely, Entrecard has helped me as well to promote my blog really well.

Unfortunately, when I logged on today I found out that my account is gone along with m EC credits of 40,000 :(
