MyBlogLog has done a great job of not only building apps but building a community on there and being response to what the community wants. Truly a marriage of users and managers working together.
Cheers,

I don't mind showing up on this site, but it's disconcerting when I'm casually checking out someone's site, scrolling down the page, and up pops my photo. If I ever get around to figuring out my login/password again, I think I'll turn it off.

Yeah I'm wondering about where they will go as well, good to see ian kennedy responding above.

whatever they do to change/add features I hope they don't bloat the javascript that goes on each site - to me that is one of the best features, that it loads relatively fast and give me very accurate pretty much real time traffic data. it's much more real time then say Google Analytics even.

it's also interesting that it's been almost 9 months since Yahoo purchased them, yet I wouldn't say that they feel really at all like a Yahoo product yet - I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Ian, thanks for the note. I've found the best way to interface with companies who have great services is to do so here in the public forum, as often there are others who share similar opinions. I'm looking forward to new features from your team and am eager to see continued upgrades.

Appreciate the follow-up.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for your comments. We're alive and well thanks and have been busy on some features (such as an API) that have shifted our focus away from the user interface but will set us up to be much more flexible going forward.

While I would agree with you that we've got some unique stats about your sites' readership that we could do a better job surfacing, we also have a wealth of information about your MyBlogLog readers that would help fill out your understanding of who your readers are and what they are collectively interested in. Feel free to drop some of your thoughts into our Suggestions area at the footer of each page and start a discussion. The team looks at this area closely for inspiration and it'd be great to capture your thoughts here and have others vote/comment on your thoughts.

Louis, I believe you are dead-on the money with this one. MyBlogLog should take a slight turn and shift it's look a bit as well towards something more slick in it's identity as well. Something that speaks to blog authors who write professional blogs, not just personal blogs. Adding beefier stats would help move it in that direction. I would not think of subscribing to their paid service, as it doesn't seem any more valuable than what I already get for free from Google Analytics.
