MyBlogLog and Discovering Our Mutual Interests.
19 January 2007 06:34 AM | Internet and Web
As you will
see on the sidebar, I have joined MyBlogLog, which is a social
networking platform. Thanks to NickW for pointing out the post which
explains why MyBlogLog will work.

I don't understand online social networks very well as I have said before, but I see more benefit from this one because it is a good way to find new web sites and what pages are hot at the momment. This reminds me more of Stumbleupon, only embedded in your website rather than your browser.
What I like about MyBlogLog (and StumbleUpon and blogs in general) is that they are new wrinkles on old fashion web surfing, sorta like webrings for the 21st Century. So I joined because one of the things I started this blog for was to see how traffic develops without the search engines, which is one of the reasons I like blogs and RSS so much and I will see just how this develops as a traffic source. One thing I know from the old days: you need to place yourself at a "Web Crossroads" in order to get non-search engine traffic so understanding social networks like MyBlogLog is important.
MyBlogLog allows me to “embed” their social network on my blog. That’s the cool part. Doesn’t seem like that big a deal, but it was the wow thing that tipped a point.
