Yahoo! Close Down Mybloglog in January 2010: Sad News!

by Tran Tinh on December 25, 2009 · 37 comments

This is a shocking news to me and many of you too that Yahoo will kill Mybloglog in January after Yahoo 360, Geocities. However, Yahoo has its own strategy but there is no official announcement yet.

Today, I have just read this on ReadWriteWeb blog and feel shocked as Mybloglog has become my friend and I am having a lot of friends on that network and I am sure you will be disappointed about this news, are you?

I guess that if Mybloglog is closed down, so what would be the best alternative now? I will choose Blogcatalog which has same structure and feature. Further, blogcatalog is much improved rather than mybloglog then the traffic flow will surely goes to blogcatalog or facebook.

What do you think about this? Where would you go?

I think mybloglog lost its champion position and could not benefit Yahoo enough then they are right to kill it to save money and resource. It is a bad decision and hard to say that Yahoo will still keep it :smoking:

Actually, Yahoo Search is dead partially when Bing acquired it and only Yahoo Messenger can be their tool and hope they will not close it too :smoking:

You are right and I guess this is what Yahoo itself did not like to be lost, however, they could not and thinking about another strategy to beat Google. Hope it can go up again sooner to be real competitor of Google :smoking:

You can’t be serious. I soooooo did not know that. It’s a shame, but oh well, c’est la vie. There are so many other ways to network online that the end of MyBlogLog isn’t the be all and end all. As bloggers, we’ll just adapt and move on.

I hope Yahoo! won’t closing down MyBlogLog.
If they still closing down MyBlogLog we can call Yahoo! as a Community Killer after Yahoo! closed down Geocities.
I think it’ll be a bad promotion for Yahoo!
