Unfinished...

...are any of us really finished? My alter ego unfinishedperson examines this very question on his blog in a linear fashion: body, mind and soul. Here, however, no such constraints exist for me, with the only rule to keep ramblin', ramblin', ramblin'.

Leaving Entrecard On A Jet...

It's sort of like that song "Leaving on A Jet Plane," only not really, in that I'm not leaving Entrecard on a jet plane, but a jet ski...

Jet Ski

and I do know when I'll be back again, okay, like, um...

hell

and Entrecard, I don't hate to see you go.

Why?

I refer you to Kathy from The Junk Drawer's excellent post I'm dropping Entrecard.

Ditto to everything, including meeting a number of really good bloggers through the network that I wouldn't have met otherwise through networks like Humor-Blogs.com, Humor Bloggers, or BlogStorm. I hope we still can

Last Day: April 30, 2009 to finish out the non-paid ads, then get a fresh start with May. As always for bonus materials (yep, like DVDs, only without the annoying director's commentary), click on the photos.

I hear ya. I'm done on the 28th myself. I will miss the traffic, but hopefully I can build that up again over time anyway. I will celebrate with you on May 1!

You can and you will. As I told Kathy, it won't be just people dropping cards and running. It will be people (gasp) actually reading. :)

My Journey said...

Oh my gosh this has to be the ultimate fairwell to entrecard I've seen since leaving myself Mar 16. Kudos for injecting a bit of humour into a sinking boat.

I had to do it in a way that fit my blog. I had a serious post written up and then decided, "Nah." and to pull out the stops instead, well, except I used "Get The Funk Out of My Face" instead of "Get The F*** Out of Dodge."

Jaffer said...

Twitter is buzzing with rumour about the possible demise of Entrecard. :-)

In the mean while, I just got my blog approved with CMF ads.

Unfinished Rambler said...

I know. I posted my post and then it seems Entrecard shut down. Coincidence or not? I don't think so. ;)

As for CMF, wasn't that a song by Prince? Oh, wait, that was SMF! Right. Well, tell me how it goes with CMF. I'd like to know more about them.

Good on ya. I agonized over giving up EC but their ongoing shenanigans pushed me over the edge. I enjoy your blog and don't need EC to keep coming back. Cheers

Unfinished Rambler said...

Well, while I was glad to find your blog through EC, I also found you over at HBDC. I felt the same way about their shenanigans...hey, congrats on your 2nd bloggiversary coming up. My first is coming up for this blog like...tomorrow!!!! We started same week!

Sue said...

I'm on my out too. EntreCard was becoming a huge chore, but I met a lot of good bloggers there and made some online friends. So I'm taking my time leaving and making sure I get all the links I need.

Woooooooooohoooooooooo welcome to the X-EC users club! Hopefully they'll take the hint!

EC - it sucks and blows at the same time!

Every day I get more confident about my decision. The freedom is wonderful! I'll miss finding new blogs that way, but the rest? Good riddance.

Oh, and it looks like they just shut most everyone out of the forums. http://forums.entrecard.com/showthread.php?t=12147

Allelulia. Allelulia. Allelulia. Amen. Sorry, just for some reason thought of the Allelulia Chorus.

I'm getting links also to the bloggers who dropped on me regularly, at least those I enjoyed...like yourself, of course, I hasten to add. ;) Actually, you're already in my reader and on my blogroll: a cherished member of the 4,400.

Unfinished Rambler said...

I doubt they will. They're going to go down, of course, mainly because I'm leaving. ;)

Well-put, Tiggy.

Lovely tune Rambler. I to left EC behind – in the crapper.

Comedy Plus said...

Sorry to see you leave Bryan, but you have to do what you have to do. I too put you in my Google reader to stay in touch.

Have a terrific day. :)

I just stopped all the paid ads a few days ago, and I am teetering on the verge of quitting Entrecard altogether. Especially now that all the fun peoples like you and Kathy are leaving!

Recent blog post: T.N.T. Oi! Oi! Oi!

Unfinished Rambler said...

You too Sandee. See you in the blogosphere. (Just FYI: I didn't send those e-mails to everyone, only a few people who, like yourself, were regular droppers on my blog.)

Unfinished Rambler said...

I joined Entrecard in large part due to Kathy and once she left, I was out.

Like Kathy, you, Daisy, won't lose many readers because of leaving Entrecard. You will lose droppers, but readers, no, because of the quality that sets you apart from other cat bloggers. You are, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, the cat's pajamas. Ouch.

Gaga@Used Jet Ski said...

It was a big hype now I don't know. Entrecard is drowning. Users are frowning over its uses. I'm anticipating another copycat though. Web 2.0 never finishes.

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
