MyBlogLog – Blogger Community

As you can see on the right sidebar of this blog I have joined MyBlogLog yesterday. I have read several positive blog posts about the service since I started my own blog but admittedly I was reluctant to join another community and didn’t know what to expect. Also the name of the company, and the logo didn’t (and still don’t) appeal to me. Sorry, to say this.

So what made me join it anyway? Quite frankly, I felt bored yesterday, spotted the Recent Readers widget on Rex Dixon’s Technically Speaking blog (worth reading, check it out), and thought I should give it a try. Maybe the buzz about Yahoo’s recent acquisition of MyBlogLog was also a reason. I don’t know.

MyBlogLog seems to be a convenient way networking with other bloggers, building communities, and also seeing who has been adventurous enough to visit my blog. It’s great to see a face rather an anonymous IP address in my log files. So it hopefully helps establishing new contacts, and maybe even generating some additional traffic to the blog. Very selfish, I know.
