Yes, I agree – it’s as it the steam has been taken out of their sails after Yahoo’s purchase… trouble getting motivated perhaps?

And i thought i was being hard on them. i am hard on them from the side of the widgets because i cover that space and because it is a service where the widgets POWER the service.

That is why is beyond my mind how can they update the core service but not the widgets…

MyBlogLog still got a chance because they are big enough, count with many big blogs using the widgets and because while the Google Friend Connect will not work everyone and got a different focus than the Recent Visitors Widget from MyBlogLog has and the fact that it still don`t launches.

But i agree. it is really sad to see MyBlogLog not doing the right things when they clearly got everything to continue improving if they wanted.

I still like the new design. But you are right. It seems they stopped developing the service a while ago. A long term strategy is not visible.

For those site owners that want more features for their reader community we created a widget solution called Livecommunity. The product is still pretty new, but we already allow your visitors to interact with each other directly on your site via the “Livecommunity widget” and also offer a widget similar to the “latest Visitors” Widget of myBlogLog. –>

Isn’t this crying wolf?
Please do’nt get me wrong but I can’t be the first person to think so. I’ll try to explain:
As we all know page ranking corresponds in a way to the links you place and their of site landing probability. Thus…
I somtimes, and more and more, get the impression that part of the mechanism that ranks websites and blogs in particular is ethically negatively related to the pissing off of another site.
Yahoo will be bought, by Microsoft, Yahoo or the King of Saudi Arabia.
What then?
I say it’s crying wolf to criticize Yahoo so easily.

Not everysite has to be the same integrater and I do like the redesign. Plus please don’t use Alexa for stats, two sources make a source. Google Trends and Compete seem stable:

Such a shame, I always liked Yahoo somehow… but Jamie might be right!

Yahoo just can’t get anything right. From the Delicious change already mentioned, to this and the overwhelming balls up that was Panama, they stumble while Google strides…

Hm, take a look at the comment from Ian Kennedy on my post earlier (linked to from my name) – he obviously sounds like they did not really expect they would get any coverage at all for the redesign. And still bloggers see potential for new features that are very much needed and demand them while the company continues to offer us some better looks again and again.
