So what’s the big deal about MyBlogLog - Engagement

I’m really pretty excited about this MyBlogLog. On my journey through the social web it was one of the applications I’ve been playing with a lot - and as mentioned before I loved it.

yodel, babasave
I (babasave) made it on the Yodel Blog of Yahoo right below Chad Dickerson :)

And the reason why is as simple as this. Take all of the social web sites out there, most of them provide you with something that dating sites have been using as an engagement tool since quite a while.

- The who has been on my profile lately feature -

And this keeps the addicted user browsing and checking out stuff he probably would never ever found through searching without this kind of “proposals”.

The brilliant thing that MyBlogLog did is detach this viral element from a application and provide it to any given group of people with a common interest that populate the web and contribute to it.


This enables bloggers and site owners to create a community at MyBlogLog and track who has been visiting their site.

I for myself for example was pretty excited that Bradley Horowitz, Chad Dickerson visited my site and Bill Slawski stopped by as well.

As a lot of great things like e.g. the Walkman from Sony … wait ehm was it really Sony? … anyway the idea was to use very common things in a way that combined the parts differently and what you got is a really great thing people love.

      Agreed, MBL is fantastic, although I just REALLY started using it today …

      I saw that bald head and said …. damn … how do I get that type of billboard love? You’re in the right place at the right time if you ask me.
