Good summary of the features and benefits of MyBlogLog. I agree that a useful enhancement would be to pool the data from the users' various communities on their profiles. I'd also like to see a display of the communities you belong to as a dynamic blogroll. It'd be great, because it would automatically add new sites as you visit them.The visual elements would also be cool.

Great site you have here.

I have been sending ideas on already! I dissed the service on my blog and ended up in a conversation with Eric, the first "friend" you get. That turned into an ongoing back-and-forth in which I ranted about my wishlists. They are open to feedback and suggestions, but they have just begun and are quite busy. It's their willingness to listen and their obvious aim to improve that impressed me and convinced me to push their service on my own blog.

And then they made me a featured user. Go figure.

But yes, I think compiling a list of ideas would be helpful and a lot less random than sending a ton of messages back and forth from different sources.

I had the same reaction ... I loved the sharing of movie reviews & ratings, but really disliked the emphasis on 'friending' and skinning and so on. I also wanted more ways to bring the data stored on Flixster onto my blog. It also seemed very odd that there wasn't a Netflix-type service baked in ... seemed like a logical feature to include. Netflix should buy them and rip out the kiddie stuff.

It's pretty much unusable. When I tested it, it didn't live up to any of the expectations I had for its platform. I could forgive the hideous design if the darn thing would only work.

It isn't a bad concept though, and hopefully it'll be improved before it goes into public beta.

There's no need for a porn version of Second Life - there's already more cybersex than you can, er, shake your stick at ...

Hooray for having a useful purpose beyond friending.
