If you haven’t noticed, I’ve added a MyBlogLog widget to the right sidebar. So far, I’m extremely happy with it. There’s a good reason many top bloggers use it, and Yahoo recently bought it for a cool $10 mil. So far, I’m liking it. A lot. It adds a whole new dynamic to blogging and, if you excuse the cliche, pushes blogging the rest of the way into Web 2.0. MyBlogLog adds a whole new dimension of interactivity to blogging, because it lets the blogger connect with readers he probably didn’t know he had. Because all readers with MyBlogLog accounts have blogs of their own, a dialogue of comments can commence. Before I started blogging, I did not read any blogs regularly, and, like most Internet users, I restricted blog visits to happenstance Google search results. Now, I have discovered over a half-dozen blogs I frequent, mostly through comments and trackbacks on my own blog, as well as top posts from Wordpress.com. MyBlog Log greatly increases a blogger’s exposure to other bloggers with similar interests,blogging topics, and readers. Over time, MyBlogLog really does foster “community” as familiar faces, all with distinct personalities and opinions reappear each others’ blogs. The potential for MyBlogLog is amazing- I look forward to exploring the novel communites of interesting, real people it spontaneously creates.

I wish I got paid to write this post. But sadly I’m only genuinely enthusiastic,mostly because “celebrity” bloggers have at least briefly glimpsed my blog. Hooray!
