Well i posted quite a while on JohnCow.com about his dropping EnterCard. It seems its still buzzing over there with a mixed review of things. Now i wanted to tell all of you what i thought on the whole situation since it seems to be a big deal on what other people do on their own blog.
Now first off , i understand every community stands together but if a certain blogger wants to remove a system or widget from his blog , He or she has full right to do with out having to get flamed or name called. I mean seriously! hes over there getting all sorts of posts in disagreement like:

And more i wont post but your welcome to check out John’s blog for more info. Entrecard has its pros as well as it cons. All you have to do is identify that with your own blog and forget what others think or say. Do your own homework with stuff , cause if you don’t then you definitely are in the wrong niche.
The entrecard system isn’t a big deal here on Gasmoney but if it was an issue like on Johncow.com then i would definitely remove it. I wouldn’t care what anyone would say as he really found there was no need for it on his blog.
OK I’ve seen some blog owners start fights for the silliest things. i know its a good way to create a buzz between readers but i want to know how effective is it really? I mean yea its always good to have people talking about you but is it planned ? or does it just happen and the people end up running with it?
Tyler Cruz dot Com seems to have found the same logo/mascot designer as we used for our header, Sosfactory dot Com, but it looks like he’s trying to pull a cheap trick to con his readers!He’s claiming that that mascot of his was “just” $500 and that anyone that wants a “cheap” mascot like that too, needs to contact him. What a load of cow-crap! Those logo’s run for a couple of hundred dollars less! Not only does it look like he is trying to con his readers by making them pay more and pocket the difference, he’s also is not supporting the awesome Sosfactory guys that did his logo design this way. Not cool Tyler.
Many of you wonder why I did not divulge who they were. I went through this before already when I found a new vBulletin skinning company: good freelance work, logo designers, vBulletin skinners, and yes, even cartoon and mascot designers are hard to find. For web publishers like me who seek the best, they are truly rare gems to find.
So with all this said what do you guys think? is it a good way to create a buzz? its certainly working for these to as you will see this on quite a few webmaster forums.
