Your move certainly got a lot of attention. Just out of curiosity, did you get any negative feedback from the people you chose to use as an example? Thanks for the comment, Bradford.

I added the top 10 SEO's, and just as I expected, the two things I wanted to happen did. A) they blogged about it, B) it got fixed, much faster then if I just sent in a bug @ MBL e-mail. What I also proved, which I think most people know about MyBlogLog that is doesn't generate traffic. The two sites I promoted, wig-dig.com and seoadwords.com both received very little traffic boast from all hype. Anyway, thanks for using the shot of the bloglog from Wig-Dig, looks cool. Thanks, Bradford Knowlton Hello,

I'm amazed at the success they've had in pretty much ousting Gravatar as the standard. It’s fixed now. I’m amazed at the success they’ve had in pretty much ousting Gravatar as the standard.

And Engtech, I would agree — from the sounds of it they are working hard on it.

If they thought about it they could easily compete with OpenID. But I wish they were a little more security minded. They need to hire some good testers who break stuff like this before lunch.
