This is a simple widget that you could implement on your own blog to help increase the number of people dropping their card by offering them a way promote their own website at the same time. This simple technique use RSS feed from your Entrecard dashboard to show the link of those Entrecard droppers in your sidebar.
Step 1. Log-in to your EntreCard dashboard
Step 2. Click on “More Stats” link, you will be taken to a page contains lots of useful information such as number of cards that were dropped on your blog each day, number of clicks through to your site from Entrecard, number of cards that you dropped on other peoples sites, … Scroll down a bit to the middle of page then you will see a RSS feed for “Top Card Droppers”, right click on it and choose option “Copy Link Location” to copy the link to clipboard.
Step 3. Login to your Blogger account
Step 4. Click on the “Layout” link
Step 5. Make sure you are in tab “Page Elements”
Step 6. Choose a place where you want to put your widgets on, then click “Add a Gadget”. When a pop-up window is opened, choose a Feed gadget (its location is in the middle of the pop-up window)
Step 7. Press Ctrl+V to paste the link you put to clipboard at Step #2
Step 8. Change title, options if you want
Step 9. Click Save and DONE
Conclusion
This widget give a much more long-term benefit to those that are featured. They will remain featured for as long as they drop their card every day while those that miss a day or more will slowly find themselves moving further down the list. This encourages everyone to drop as often as possible to get themselves featured on your site or to keep their current position.
I think this widget is better than Recent Entrecard Droppers widget because those that are visiting your website regularly are receiving the greatest benefits for doing so while those that only drop occasional will not featured as much.

Excellent and well done.
This is actually a very good and constructive idea for Blogger who wants to build relationship with Entredropper.
I have top dropper widgets on my two blogs but i’m not using the blogger rss page element because its only limited to five links. That is why i’m using other way to display my 10 top droppers that function the same way.
How about if you Post the same thing for Wordpress Users since it is useful for them also.
Hey that’s pretty neat. Thanks for the info. I have been seeing people use Entrecard in some interesting ways and it seems to bring quite a bit of traffic for many bloggers.
Cool Widget. Definitely begs further exploration, especially as it is worth quality link-love!
I registered a membership on entrecard, and that is easy to using.thanks
