That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the long awaited
Entrecard Toolbar is here and it’s smokin’ hot. The toolbar is for
Firefox only, so if you’re not running the best browser on the net, I
suggest you
download Firefox 3. Again, to make sure it works properly, make sure you are running
FIREFOX 3.
Ok, that being said, you can
download the Entrebar Here.
Now, being that this is a toolbar, it will install directly to your
browser. It packs the entire Entrecard.com site (I’m still amazed at
this baby), and it also enhances your ability to do a lot of Entrecard
related things. Let’s jump right into it.
Features
Quick Account Switching:
The first button you see is a button that lists all your
accounts. Using this button, you can switch instantly between any
account you own. If you don’t have multiple blogs listed at Entrecard,
this won’t affect you.
Your Entrecard Menu:
The second button gives
you a report of how many credits you have, and how many drops you’ve
done today. Click it, and it will drop down to give you the options of
visiting your dashboard, messagebox, ad calendar, Statistics, Linked
Blogs page, and the buy EC page.
Who to Browse:
You can select your Inbox,
Favorites, or any Entrecard Category you
like, and browse these sites
with a single click of a button right from your browser. The Toolbar
will automatically take you to these sites.
How to Browse:
Want to browse your Inbox by
the Most Popular? Or, would you like to go through the least expensive
sites in the Technology category? Or perhaps you’d like to go through
the most advertised sites in the celebrity category, because if
they’re the most advertised, the blog is probably great. Entrecard
Toolbar makes it possible.
The Jump Buttons
Click on the single green arrow, and you will
instantly be taken to an Entrecard site. Click the double green arrow,
and your browser will open the next 10 Entrecard sites, as per your
specifications in “How to Browse” and “What to Browse”.
One-Touch Favorites
The Entrecard Toolbar allows you to bookmark
your favorites with a single click. While on any Entrecard site, a
heart icon will appear in the browser. If its shaded gray, it means the
person is not in your favorites.
And if it lights up bright red, that means they are in your favorites.
You can add someone to your favorites, or remove someone from your
favorites, simply by clicking the button. This will toggle between them,
and confirm your action by displaying the appropriate heart icon.
One-Click Advertising
That’s right, Entrecard’s famous one-click
advertising is now coming at you from the browser. Any site you are
on will display its price in the browser, and with just a single
click, you can advertise on that site.
Interaction Menu
We also packed a menu into the toolbar that
gives you all the options to interact with a site. That means that
right from the toolbar, you can go to someone’s profile, write them a
recommendation, Tip them (give them credits), or report them for a
violation.
Not only will this help improve community interaction, it should also
increase the efficiency with which we weed out low quality blogs.
Entrecard Menu
Finally, we have a dropdown “Entrecard” menu,
which will take you to the Entrecard Blog, the community forum, the
support forum, the Bugs forum, and the Help section of the website. It
will also allow you to log out.
Can you feel the excitement??
Needless to say, we are incredibly
excited about this toolbar. It ports the entire Entrecard experience
right to your browser, and lets it take it with you. I’ve been testing
it for the past few days, and I usually keep it set to my Inbox at
Random. Whenever I have a spare moment I jump around to see who’s been
dropping on me, and I can’t tell you how many new blogs I’m coming
across and commenting on.
You may not realize it now, but this is probably the single greatest
development that Entrecard has made since we launched. This will
fundamentally change the entire Entrecard system and your Browser
becomes the cornerstone for your Entrecard experience, and lets you take
it with you wherever you go.
