[mybloglog] yahoo takeover loses members

We've only just been discussing Facebook and now MyBlogLog is at it too. The takeover by Yahoo was a shock to me but as our Blogpower Mailing List is Yahoo, I didn't think too much of it. Then I read LFB_UK and am thinking seriously about MBL:
When I signed up to MBL, it was quick easy and needed no other information than an email account for verification and obviously a blog. It was nice easy and simple, rather like me who prefers to keep things in separate places and doesn't like to put all his eggs into one basket.

The ability to visit others sites and leave a tag saying you had been without actually leaving a comment, was ideal, it was great others bloggers knew I had been and had a link back to my site if they wished to follow it.


So my apologies to all those who still use the
MBL service, but its take over and insistence on having a Yahoo ID has irked me somewhat, and I am sorry I will no longer be a part of that community.

  1. I really enjoy facebook and hear from lots of people through this. I'm afraid I tend to ignore people who contact me via mybloglog because I can't keep up with it all. I don't see the point in spreading yourself so thin. I have decided that facebook is where I would like to converse with my communities, anyone reading this is welcome to join me.

  2. I'm sorry but you'll have to be much more explicit than this for me to give up MBL which I love. What is the evil Yahoo world that he is talking about?

    We already have a Yahoo identities for the BP group there. So???
