I intended to blog about this last night. I started off last night's post with an introduction on Entrecard, thinking that I will eventually fill up the contents (the contents for today) as I write. Instead, I got so engrossed in writing about the past and present of Entrecard that I decided might as well turn what I'm writing into a blog post. Click here to read my "not so well planned" article.

As for today, I'm pretty sure I will be able to produce the intended article without straying away. To prevent and further ramblings for today, I'll skip the introduction and get straight to the gist of "What Kind of Entrecard Dropper Are You?"

1. Power Droppers
Power Droppers are Entrecard members who visit blogs solely for the sake of dropping Entrecards. The only goal that Power Droppers have in mind is to earn 300 Entrecard credits in the shortest amount of time daily. In some ways, we tend to see them as merciless Entrecard members who dont't give a rat's tail about the contents of other blogs. The one and only thing that attracts them is the "Drop" button located on your Entrecard widget.

Resources for Power Droppers:

2. "You Drop I Follow" Droppers
Courtesy is the only word that I can use to describe "You Drop I Follow" Droppers. If you take the effort to drop on blogs that have the "You Drop I Follow" badge on display, rest assured that you'll be getting a visit and an Entrecard drop in reciprocal. Most of "You Drop I Follow" droppers are rather reliable and tend to return you the favour.

List of "You Drop I Follow" Blogs:
LeeDoyle Dot Com - Over at this blog, there's a huge variety of "Your Drop I Follow badges available for you to choose from (if you intend to follow implement this concept) as well as a list of 155 blogs practising the "You Drop I Follow" policy.

3. Socialcardster Droppers
A term coined by Ben Sparks for Entrecard members who are also members of this society called SocialSpark.com. I'm not to sure what benefits you will get for joining the Socialcardster list. Perhaps being called a Socialcardster and having the Socialcardster badge on your blog is something worth joining? Plus you also get a blog link from BenSparks.com to your blog if you become a Socialcardster. Hell yeah!

4. SiteHoppin Droppers
This is a term I've coined for Entrecard members who utilizes the SiteHoppin Firefox Toolbar to drop Entrecards. By selecting the Entrecard tag on the toolbar, only pages listed under the category of Entrecard will appear every time you start hopping. There's a bonus it it for those who use the SiteHoppin Firefox Toolbar to drop Entrecards. Apart from earning Entrecard credits, you will also earn BeerCredits (each hop will give you 1 Beer Credit) which you could use to bring more traffic to your blog!

5. Casual Droppers
Probably the rarest among Entrecard members. Unlike Power Droppers, Casual Droppers tend to stop, explore and read your blog before actually dropping their Entrecard. Casual Droppers are hard to come by and their loyalty is unquestionable once they start following your blog. A gem among Entrecard members I would say.

There you have it, 5 types of Entrecard Dropper that I could think of. Have you discovered what kind of species erm...I meant type of Dropper are you?

Till my next post, cheers and happy blogging.
