In the grand scheme of things, $10 million isn't a ton of money for a big company like Yahoo! to spend acquiring another company. Still, for an embattled Yahoo!, shutting down MyBlogLog is another sad trombone in its symphony of missteps. MyBlogLog was a service which allowed bloggers to create a community for their sites. The shutdown was called out in the famous "sunsetting" slideshow in late ...

You're on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, StumbleUpon, Digg, Flickr, and a thousand other social networking sites. But keeping up with your friends and contacts on each site could be a full time job. Or you could sign up for a single service that lets you view your contacts' activity on a single page. FriendFeed is a service that launched last week, which does exactly that. But the service didn't ...

We have to admit we haven't given much thought to blogging community site MyBlogLog over the last year or so. The service launched as a way for bloggers to get in touch with one another and find new sites they might be interested in. But Technorati and Google Blog Search are both much more useful for finding blogs covering topics you care about. But that doesn't mean there's no value in MyBlogLog. ...

If you wanted a widget that could connect all of your friends regardless of creed their specific network such as MySpace, Facebook, their own site, etc., there is a new open source social networking site that lets you do that. Explode lets you connect all your friends from disparate social networks together. You do this by using a search term or interest tag to find others who share your ...

MyBlogLog has been racked with security issues of late. John Chow uncovered the scandal of MyBlogLog users who are unscrupulously adding well known bloggers to their blogs list of co-authors. Perhaps a partial explanation of how the SEOs and bottom feeders of the world are pulling off these tricks comes from ShoeMoney, who explains how you can surf MyBlogLog sites as nearly anyone you wish. ...

After the recent acquisition from Yahoo!, I only just got around to checking out MyBlogLog (My profile shows me registering on 1/26/2007). These days, most social services integrate with the Flickr API, so I thought nothing of it when I saw that I could set that up. However, according to a post on Mashable!, it looks like this is a shiny new feature (we love those here). Further investigation ...

A couple months back we reported that Yahoo! had purchased social networking site for bloggers MyBlogLog. What we didn't report was that shortly thereafter Yahoo! PR denied Techcrunch's report, saying the to companies were in discussions, and nothing more. Oi. Well now, almost two months later, it's really, truly happened: The talks are concluded, the deal is final, and MyBlogLog is now really and ...

Hey, big spender. Today Yahoo! shelled out for not one, but two companies: MyBlogLog, a social networking site for bloggers and their readers, and Bix, a social contest service. Neither purchase price has been announced, though rumors say $10 million for MyBlogLog. I'm a big fan of MyBlogLog, which allows people to build communities around their blogs and, through a tracking code snippet, also ...
