[...] This is great for the MyBlogLog guys, and as I have written before I am a big fan of the application. I like the way it connects people who read different blogs, including mine. I like looking at the pictures of who has been reading, and then clicking on the pictures to see who that person is and whether they have a blog. That is social networking, pure and simple. [...]

Thanks for the comment, Vanessa. I guess the question of whether it’s a “meaningful” community or not is up to each individual to decide, but like I tried to say in the post, I think it’s interesting to see who reads your blog regularly, who makes your blog one of their favourites, who adds you as a contact or whatever. And I often go and check out what other blogs people who add me to their contacts in MyBlogLog are readng, to see if there’s something out there I’m missing. Technorati does the same thing in some ways, or is trying to. Whether it’s meaningful or not is hard to say.

Hey Mathew, I gotta say: I love MyBlogLog as a stats tracker for my blog, but… when they introduced the “community” thing, they TOTALLY lost me. I mean, I just don’t get it. I have no idea what it’s about. It seemed to me like a last ditch desperate attempt to cash in on the “social networking” thing that just didn’t make any sense. Obviously, I’m just missing something here, but I wish someone would clue me in! How do other users of MyBlogLog in any way constitute a meaningful “community”?
