Comments on: Yahoo buys MyBlogLog — but why? http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/01/09/yahoo-buys-mybloglog-but-why/ ... at the intersection of media, technology, business and the web Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:01:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Beloy http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/01/09/yahoo-buys-mybloglog-but-why/comment-page-1/#comment-180319 Beloy Fri, 12 Jan 2007 21:20:16 +0000 http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/01/09/yahoo-buys-mybloglog-but-why/#comment-180319 Mathew, there are other <em>"from $0 to Million Dollar Homepage"</em> stories, icluding my own: I joined MyBlogLog 3 days ago to introduce the <strong>BILLION</strong> Dollar Homepage <a href="http://Mini-News.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Mini-News.com</strong></a> , - first website in the world made mostly of <strong>IFRAME</strong> ads! It may be hard for you to imagine there are countries where average people don't have the starting capital $1,000+ of a poor Brit. student Alex Tew, let alone professionals that work in the US legally.

As for the MyBlogLog purchase, Yahoo would be shocked to learn that first 3Kb of Live IFRAME Ad space for <a href="http://Mini-News.com" rel="nofollow">Mini-News.com</a> is now on eBay for only $100.

I'm not social on the 'net in the way MBL would like me to be, and I've had some sploggers "add" me as a friend (which quite frankly, has bugged me--told Eric) I'd bet it has something to do with MBL interfacing with Yahoo 360 and becoming a MySpace-type thingie for grownup bloggers (who just aren't happy with comments and checking their stats pages) I was puzzled by this myself–since Eric Marcoullier, one of the guys who developed MyBlogLog’s a friend, and I was using it when it was just a different kind of stats package.
