Official Scoutle Blog

Although it has been a while, we just found about it. Scoutle has been discussed on Italian television. A couple of days after launching Scoutle version 2.0. The Italian user base has always been pretty large compared to other non-english/dutch languages but who knows this has helped more than we know.

Scoutle is online for 6 months already! A complete new version of Scoutle.com (Version 2.0) was launched silently September 18th with many (!!!) new and cool features but every day we keep on working hard to implement and process the great suggestions we get through email or the Suggestion Box. There have been so many updates the last few months, you may have missed some!

1. New intelligent widget: – Dynamic Widget

This new widget has been tested for a week now and is actually a small version of your blog profile at scoutle.com. It is updated automatically to make sure only blogs are shown that you approved. Also, visitors can visit another blog directly, going from one blog to another without passing Scoutle.com to bring visitors around even quicker. We strongly advice you to replace your current widget with this new widget that is available in two different sizes.

2. Customize your widget

We added different ways to customize your widget. You are now able to select the background color of your widget! Just login at Scoutle.com and go to My Scoutle / My Blogs and click on “Edit”.

Next to Twitter, FriendFeed and your Personal RSS Feed we now also have a Lifestream RSS Feed for you and Scoutle is supported at profilactic.com. Use these cool features to get noticed! Login, go to / My Scoutle / My Account / Communication.

5. New additional service: www.qurify.com

We are also working on other cool services that can help you and your blog get noticed on different ways. We just launched www.qurify.com to help you get your blog noticed outside the Internet. At www.qurify.com your can create your own QR Codes (which is called “to qurify”) but inside the Scoutle website, we already qurified a QR Code for you at My Scoutle / My Blogs / QR Code.

7. Advice: Join or create networks

Networks are very important within Scoutle so be sure to join or create networks that are related to your blog. Also, promote these networks so you make your own connections stronger and of higher quality.

To make sure Scoutle will grow faster and faster, and drive more interested traffic to your blog, please make sure to invite all your friends and BLOG ABOUT SCOUTLE! Not only will your post be mentioned at Scoutle.com (and printed out to have a nice spot at our wall at the office) but also, this is a very effective way to get your own visitors connected to your blog and help them spread the word as well. We will continue to listen to your suggestions and add as many useful and free features that all of us can think of!

Today a big article about Scoutle has been published in the Dutch newspaper “Financieel Dagblad”, let’s say the Dutch Financial Times. A nice article I’m very proud of. They have also made a nice illustration of how Scoutle works that we may use to create one for ourselves to show (future) users.

The reporter also contacted CEO of Blogcatalog and is quoted to “find Scoutle a nice invention”.
A nice article that will get a nice place on the wall here! Buy the paper today, read it online at www.fd.nl or read it here:
