MyBlogLog Gets Its Tag On
One of my main criticisms of MyBlogLog – a site that I’m very fond of overall – is that there’s not enough to do on the site itself, particularly in the Communities section.
Well, that’s starting to change as MyBlogLog is leveraging some of its new Yahoo-connections (MBL was purchased by Yahoo earlier this year) in adding tagging of Communities to the site. So now you can tag Online Media Cultist with words like online, media, crazed lunatic, sucks whale’s feet, and so on and people will be able to search and find the site using such terms (if you can’t be creative with tags, when can you be, I say!).
TechCrunch relates that the MBL community can vote tags up or down to increase or decrease its size in a tag cloud display, which is a very novel idea. It’s so novel, in fact, that I’m not sure anyone will care, but it’s very interesting nonetheless!
There’s also excitement about moves to cut down on spam on MBL, a widespread and long running complaint about the site.
I’m looking forward to seeing what other new wrinkles that MBL may have in store.
