I just realized (smack me in the face, huh!) that MyBlogLog.com, which I signed up for some months ago, is actually something I don’t want any part of! Duh.
It’s a “service” that shows my little face photo on sites that subscribe to their service, saying “Sky has been reading this page.” Given what Facebook did to me in December, revealing who all of my friends are[1][2], I’ve become somewhat protective of where I go and what I read. Why would I want people to see that I’ve been reading some blog that just happens to subscribe to this service? What if I arrive at a site, gag on its contents, and then leave? MyBlogLog still shows that I’ve recently been there.
Goodbye privacy? Nope, goodbye MyBlogLog — I just unregistered. And they miss me already?
