Yahoo MyBlogLog Discontinued

Yahoo is to discontinue and shut down MyBlogLog (www.mybloglog.com), a social network site for bloggers and the blogging community, that was originally developed by Cloudspace and was acquired by Yahoo in January 2007.

How to Use MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog allowed bloggers to create their communities and be identified as bloggers.

  • MyBlogLog offered a web widget that can be installed on users’ blogs.
  • Each MyBlogLog user could start a blog community by submitting his/her one or multiple blogs and allow other MyBlogLog users to bookmark/share his/her blogs.
  • Through the web widget installed on the MyBlogLog user’s blog, blog visitors could visit that MyBlogLog user’s blog community page and interact with that MyBlogLog user and other MyBlogLog users.
  • MyBlogLog users could display the snippets of their blog posts on their MyBlogLog community pages through RSS feeds.
