I just received a mail from Yahoo stating that they will be discontinuing their MyBlogLog with effect from May 24th 2011. MyBlogLog was a yahoo service which provides blogging-enthusiasts a forum to connect with their readers and the wider blogging community. Yahoo acquired MyBlogLog from eponymous in January ’07 for $10M. This is another RIP after Y!Buzz and Delicious 🙁
Here’s the mail Yahoo sent me(to all users) :
