Entrecard mini updates and Wishlist

February 25, 2008

 
There are some minor changes in the Entre­card dash­board. More sta­tis­tics are dis­played, and sadly, some were moved away from the front page. The fol­low­ing (sta­tis­tics) addi­tions are pretty nice:
–Cred­its earned via ads
–Cred­its earned via drops
–Cur­rently run­ning ads (i.e. ads that you buy)
Some other changes
–Pend­ing Ads/Your Ads moved to its own page
The changes are pretty minor, so […]

Google webmaster tools update and survey

February 23, 2008

Google has always been pretty silent with the updates and all that. This time it’s with Web­mas­ters tools. First up are some minor visual changes. The blue “fill bars” that you see in cer­tain pages like Crawl Stats are now more fat­ter. Col­ors used are also now more lighter, mak­ing the panel a lot more eas­ier to look at.

Google has […]

Entrecard falling under pressure

February 23, 2008

Decid­ing to try Entre­card out, I reg­is­tered and used it for a while. How­ever, it does appear that Entre­card is get­ting pum­meled to the ground — with traf­fic increas­ing almost expo­nen­tially, it’s no won­der. Alexa may not be accu­rate, but it sure shows a nice increasing trend.

Sounds like it’s time for Entre­card to upgrade its servers, for they […]

Alexa glitch prevents updating of graphs

February 22, 2008

Looks like Alexa is unable to update the graphs and infor­ma­tion used in the Alexa site. Only infor­ma­tion from the 15th of Feb­ru­ary remains, so the graph now appears “stuck” to where it was 5 days ago. The prob­lem appears to be because the Movers and Shak­ers list appears to be stuck at the 12th of February, […]

Admitably, Entrecard’s pretty good

February 19, 2008

 
Look­ing at other Entre­card users, I’m pretty amazed at how well the free ad pub­lish­ing ser­vice has grown. Although the thought of Flash adver­tise­ments isn’t very new, how about “free” adver­tise­ments? You may think no one wants to put on adver­tise­ment if they don’t earn money from it, but Entre­card prob­a­bly is about to change that concept […]

Live search more popular than Google according to Alexa

February 15, 2008

 
That’s Inter­est­ing… for months Google has stayed at the 2nd posi­tion, until today where it fell to the 4th posi­tion (taken from 15 Feb). Seems like Google had a fall in traf­fic in their main page, rel­a­tive to other pages. Though, know­ing Alexa to be pretty inac­cu­rate at times, the rank­ings may not really hold true.

How a “flaw” results in a high Technorati authority

February 15, 2008

 
I’ve real­ized that my site got a rank­ing of about 60,000 posi­tion in the Tech­no­rati lad­der. Pretty unusual, con­sid­er­ing that Tevine is pretty new. Then, I found out that Tech­no­rati was count­ing links from the only plu­gin that I placed a lit­tle adver­tise­ment on (i.e. Social Drop­down).
Unlike Alex King, which left pure flow­ing links in his pop­u­lar­ity contest plugin, […]

Yahoo rejects Microsoft’s offer

February 10, 2008

Looks like Yahoo decided to reject Microsoft’s offer of $44.6 bil­lion. The deal came sur­pris­ingly 1 week ago, and is per­ceived as “hos­tile” by many Inter­net users. The pri­mary rea­son why Microsoft’s offer was rejected was that its deal is not high enough.
Yahoo also believes that Microsoft is attempt­ing to make use of the recent […]

Firefox 2.0.0.12

February 10, 2008

Fire­fox had another update which fixes sev­eral secu­rity and sta­bil­ity prob­lems. There were 3 crit­i­cal secu­rity fixes in this ver­sion, mak­ing it an impor­tant update.
There are no fea­ture releases in this ver­sion, as it is mainly a secu­rity fix.
The update is dished out as an auto­matic update, but if you didn’t get the update, you can […]

Yahoo to decide if it accepts Microsoft’s offer

February 9, 2008

 
Looks like it’s Yahoo’s turn to decide if it should accept the $44.6 bil­lion deal. The out­come will deter­mine what hap­pens to the search engine com­mu­nity — users, devel­op­ers, etc. While Yahoo and Google has been actively embrac­ing ope­ness (par­tic­u­larly tech­nolo­gies that are not yet com­pleted), going as far as to mak­ing APIs avail­able for free, […]
