MyBlogLog will be terminated in January 2010
Once a popular cross-blog social networking widget MyBlogLog will be closed down by Yahoo! in January. MyBlogLog is a service that shows blog writers and readers the faces and profile information of other MyBlogLog users that visit their sites. The recent service close by Yahoo! was Geocities.
MyBlogLog was a wildly innovative service that grew fast after launching and was acquired in January 2007 by Yahoo! for $10 million. It made a deal with users: give us your personal information and we'll show you the faces of people who read your blog. That was a compelling offer and the resulting data amassed could have proven invaluable, had Yahoo! chosen to cultivate it and a developer ecosystem around it. That potential was so great, in fact, that sunset for MyBlogLog is downright tragic. It's also likely to anger bloggers all around the web.

I had no idea that this was closing down. I guess Yahoo is sending out messages to MyBlogLog users, because this is the first I've heard of it closing down. Thanks for the notice.
i just paid for a years premium analytics...there was no drama in taking my money, so until it's gone, it's live!
