		<description><![CDATA[Entrecard is a way to promote a blog and in addition, to increase traffic.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I learned that some bloggers had started dropping <a href="http://www.theladyprogrammer.com/2008/07/entrecard-kicks-it-up-notch.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Entrecard">Entrecard</a> using Google Chrome. Most of them say that dropping with Chrome is easier. Yesterday, I decided to do the dropping chores using the other browser.</p>

<p>
<b>Everything is Faster in Chrome</b></p>
<p>I tried to load the Entrecard website in both browsers with the cache cleared. The website seemed to load up faster with Chrome than with Firefox. The Inbox list loaded up quickly in Chrome too. That&#8217;s the only sheer advantage that I&#8217;ve witnessed firsthand.</p>
<p><b>Longer Time to Drop Everything</b></p>
<p>I realized that the system that I had established in dropping ECs is not applicable to my dropping strategy. It took me 2 hours to do <a href="http://www.theladyprogrammer.com/2008/10/how-i-got-more-than-300-entrecard-drops.html" target="_blank" title="Entrecard">300 drops</a> for the other blog. I use either a&nbsp; feed reader or Great Registry Hacks&#8217;s <a href="http://registryeditor.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Entrecard dropmaster">Entrecard dropmaster</a> to help me drop cards for my top 25 droppers. Then I go to my Inbox and drop ECs to those who dropped on me a day before. Then I use the remaining drops to drop on the most popular blogs that are related to my blog topic using the <b>Entrebar</b> until I reach the 300 mark.</p>
<p>With Google Chrome, I could not use the <a href="http://www.theladyprogrammer.com/2008/08/can-you-drop-entrecards-in-15-minutes.html" target="_blank" title="Entrecard">image disabling technique</a> to load up sites and drop easily with a plugin similar to Entrebar. The &#8220;undo close tab&#8221; is not also provided in Google Chrome, not like in Firefox where it remains to be my top handy feature when I accidentally close a site. Firefox is still a better fit to my Entrecard dropping strategy.</p>
<p><b>Google Chrome is Still Useful<br />
</b></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t just simply drop then hop away to another site. I make sure that as I do my drops, I participate on the discussions posted on other blogs. I have Firefox and Google Chrome open at the same time. I do drops with Firefox, and when I encounter a blog where I want to comment on, I grab that post URL and open that with Google Chrome so that I could leave a comment.</p>
