My Problems with MyBlogLog
- Comments are useless these days. 90% of them are spam, and even if they’re not spam (outright), they’re crafted so as not to look like spam.
- Managing comments (bunk or legit) is still as painful as it ever was.
- Sometimes, I don’t want someone to know I came to their site. Now, I’m not saying that I’m visiting the “wrong” kinds of sites – just that, jeez… you never know when this feature is going to turn around and bite someone in the ass.
- It still hasn’t updated the screen shot for my blog, and I’m (admittedly) too lazy to upload my own.
- In the beginning, it really helped bLaugh’s traffic – but now, I don’t think it’s half as useful for bringing new visitors (or known supporters) to any one of the sites I have MyBlogLog code running on. Odd that a social network would be *MORE* effective with *LESS* users.
- It’s easy to spot the marketers and SEMs – they’re the ones with hot chicks for buddy icons. I guess that’s not so much a “problem” (per se), but it does speak well to my point that MyBlogLog is becoming increasingly useless for me.
Still, I use it – but every one of the aforementioned points will keep me from ever upgrading to a “Pro” account. Not to mention, now that Yahoo owns ‘em – things will change with MyBlogLog sooner or later.
