[...] Om Malik, Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 11:46 AM PT Comments (0) While hanging out at the TechCrunch50 conference, I ran into Eric Marcoullier, who recently launched his second startup, Gnip. We were supposed to talk about Gnip almost a month ago, but for some odd reason it didn’t happen. I was curious, because Eric and I got to know each other when he was visiting San Francisco and had just launched MyBlogLog. I didn’t really end up using the service, but Yahoo loved it so much that they bought it. [...]

Seems to me like Yahoo! is keeping up with Google. I wonder how long before one buys out the other.

Twittering MyBlogLog (or my new toys)…

Why one blogger loves Twitter and MyBlogLog …

By: Joe Loew

I'm still amused people would ask the question "Why would (Yahoo|Google|eBay) buy NNNN" when discussing community-based websites.

It's almost never about the primary revenue source, other than the fact ANY revenue is a clear way to vet basic business planning. I'm sure Yahoo barely cared about the $3/$12 revenue stream (And I doubt MBL has very many paying customers. It is counter to what makes a service like this propagate … FREE)

It's all about REACH. Targeted advertizing. Viral propagation.

Anyway, you can't help but be impressed about the deal. The proof is in the pie, and the rest is just coffee house talk. I know I haven't been able to do what Scott/Eric/Todd were able to do.

Speaking of being one of the "talkers", I managed to get a great interview of my own with Scott. It's about how he manages his busy schedule: Interview With Scott Rafer, CEO of MyBlogLog Managing Overload: How CEOs Do It

What's more, unbeknownst to me, I'm pretty sure he did this around the time the Yahoo deal was being sealed.
