Goodbye to You, MyBlogLog
I like the idea of MyBlogLog. It mimics the non-virtual world - many connections are made or strengthened by running into people at the grocery store or movie theatre.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t been coded very securely (thanks to Shoemoney for pointing some exploits out, for which he got banned temporarily). It’s prone to spamming, and only provides marginal benefits. Really, it only worked because everybody was excited about the idea and checking it out, but in the end it just doesn’t give any real value.
The fact that it tracks all clicks made on my site is also sketchy. To top it off, I had the following error on my site today:
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_connect() [<a href=’function.mysql-connect’>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Host ‘p2.mybloglog.com’ is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with ‘mysqladmin flush-hosts’ in <b>/home/myblogpub/public_html/comm2.php</b> on line <b>390</b>
I don’t know about you, but I don’t like getting errors on my site. Hence, MyBlogLog will be leaving my site. Maybe someday you’ll return, but only once you’ve matured. Bye-bye, MyBlogLog!
