The Marketing Technology Blog: The Missing Features of MyBlogLog

  • JD · 2 years ago
    I am so new to blogging that I could not even comprehend not having MyBlogLog,the community of thought provided by the readers has given me direction . The show of support has humbled me and I do feel a part of the community. The support from other than obvious readers points out races have much more in common than we in normal life allow. Blogging can provide a tool for us to better understand each other with out comming in to contact with each other. Think about it, that is what companies and customers can do as well. Focus on common goals as methods of building trust and respect. Nice post Doug, Go Bears!

    We've been talking about something like this. Ultimately, I'd love it if we can make it one-click simple for you to join the communities of all the sites in your blogroll (or MyYahoo or FeedReader or...) and then replace your blogroll with a widget that automatically updates as you join new communities.

    Besides the resource issue (custom communities and Y! integration are sucking everything up in the short term) there's the whole "how good is good enough" question. Many people organize their blogrolls pretty extensively, so how much of that do we need to support before people will replace their blogroll with a widget? What do you think the basic features need to be?

    Eric,

    Thanks so much for commenting and visiting! I like the idea of using a blogroll to reverse-join communities. Great idea! Maybe simply by copy and pasting them into a form where you could look for their domains on MyBlogLog... and if they don't exist, invite them!

    As for the widget... I think it could compliment a Blogroll, not necessarily replace it. If I could put a Communities widget on my blog with all the pics (just like the MyBlogLog) - with a link to the community and a link back to their blog.

    The best thing I've got out of MyBlogLog is the MyAvatars wordpress plugin which uses the photo you have at mybloglog as the photo in your comments.

    Any person who has photo at their MyBlogLog account and types there website into the comments form will get their photo put in your comments.

    Doug -- I like the idea of complementing the widget instead of replacing it. Great idea!
