I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with Entrecard, it's just that referral marketing of any kind attracts the lowest type of people trying to make money on the internet.

It's actually pretty clever. http://entrecard.com/docs/doku.php for anyone curious to read about how it works.

Also some mashable coverage: http://mashable.com/2008/03/28/entrecard/

Erm, if I spam 300 blogs a day by "dropping my card" for 3 days in a row, I can buy a Penguin book.

We are definitely not the target audience for this site. A lot of internet marketers are from developing countries or kids.
