Monday, January 21st, 2008

It’s been quite some time since I’ve mentioned MyBlogLog on my blog, but they are still one of my favorite web 2.0 companies that I use daily as a blogger to track where my traffic is coming from. And the latest news from them? An API!!
The API, currently in private beta, is said to include:

MyBlogLog Introduces Tagging

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

MyBlogLog added “tagging” to their feature set tonight. I just tagged about 30 blogs; I wonder if I’m a super user so early in the tagging game?
This is a great addition in my mind and i’m sure Yahoo!/MyBlogLog will find some great ways to surface blogs with similar tags as yours in the near future.

Startup Review posted a great case study of MyBlogLog this morning — it’s a fantastic read if you’re interested in the web 2.0 space.

Fantastic Display of Transparency & Honesty

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

Eric over at MyBlogLog has done a excellent job this week dealing with the SPAM issue that faced his (well, Yahoo!’s now) company last weekend. The issue was that thousands of users were e-mailed as a result of a loophole in their code.
It’s no secret I’m a fan of MyBlogLog, but that’s not the reason […]

Web 2.0 - What’s the Next Wave?

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Entering the internet time period that people will call Web 3.0 is inevitable, but the specifics of what web 3.0 is or will include is up for debate. There have been a number of articles written about Web 3.0 since Tim O’Reilly’s web 2.0 article in 2005- see here, here, and here. BUT instead of […]

MyBlogLog Officially Sells to Yahoo!

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Well, it’s official. Both TechCrunch & Mashable reported the news today — MyBlogLog has sold to Yahoo! (this time for real) and will be part of the Developers Network. You may remember that the deal was rumored back in November, but never got finalized. I was just chatting with Eric, one of the co-founders, on […]

MyBlogLog Makes Another Brilliant Move - MySpace Support

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

Geez…MyBlogLog is making all the right moves! I haven’t kept up to date with tech blogs I usually read since Zillow’s Wednesday release, but I just checked TechCrunch and found that MyBlogLog launched support for myspace profiles, which should grow their audience/reach considerably. I do have a myspace profile, but don’t really use the site […]

Of couse I HAVE to mention this since it involves my favorite web 2.0 company out there. For instance, one of the more interesting pieces of information I got from it was […]

I also want to note the reasons for writing this–
1) I view MyBlogLog as […]
