  • MyBlogLog & Microformats

    Sometimes it’s the simple things. Last week we switched on another piece of the microformats suite and all MyBlogLog profiles now support vCard and hCard formats. For more details, see the MyBlogLog blog. For more on Microformats in general and why they’re cool, see Denise Olson’s excellent primer, An Introduction to Microformats.

  • MyBlogLog and Web 2.0 Expo

    Todd and I have been busy hanging out over at this week’s Web 2.0 Expo (save one short visit to the nearby Blue Bottle Coffee, thanks Sam!) but the team has been back at MyBlogLog HQ cranking out some cool stuff regardless. HCard & VCard support – very cool to see these come to light.…

  • The Lifestream Filter Will be the Next Great Algorithm War

  • Community 2.0 with Twitter

    MyBlogLog just launched an experiment and a shared account at twitter.com/mybloglog.

The twittersphere is so noisy anyway that when we…

  • Launching Products, MyBlogLog style

    Yesterday was one of the more exciting days of my time here at Yahoo, and I wasn’t even in the office.  MyBlogLog shipped a significant new feature which required the whole team to knuckle down and work as one. We hate to ship new code on Fridays so yesterday was the deadline to get something…
