Been using MyBlogLog for years now, even before Yahoo! bought it for $10 million in early 2007. We’ve had over 2,000 members on MyBlogLog so I’m not sure what will happen after May 24 when the service is totally shut down.
It’s the second time they sent that. The first time was a year or two ago? I ended up ignoring their latest email announcement thinking “someone’s messing with them again”.
Wait-and-see mode, if their email announcement is for real.
I think may fault din talaga ung yahoo kaya nalulugi sila and nagsshut down mga services nila, hindi kasi secure mga services nila and andami na ring spam eh…ok pa naman sana ung mybloglog services nila…oh well… :(
Matibay parin Google … may kita pa every month

Tama, everytime I log out from my Yahoo! Mail (don’t laugh but it’s the longest email service that I’ve been using though Gmail is undeniably clever – so I have both), I love the news updates which Google doesn’t have. Kahit pa sabihin natin na hindi ganun ka swift and smooth ang mga products nila, may share parin talaga of fanatics sila dito sa Asia.
While it may not affect as much people, yung mga Bloggers like Yugatech who have lots of following sa service na to would be a bit bothered. First Flickr, then Delicious, then MyBlogLog, baka sa susunod Yahoo! Mail na, wala kasing matatag na management organization ang Yahoo! Pero love ko parin sila kahit papaano ;-)
