Yahoo! Snaps Up MyBlogLog

The other day I emailed my editors at Boston.com asking them to add MyBlogLog to the side column of Business Filter. It's a very cool little community-builder that enables readers to leave information about themselves here on this blog, thus creating our own little Business Filter network. Because I don't have comments on this blog, I'm hoping MyBlogLog will highlight all of my smart readers, and allow them to link back to their own blogs and make it easy to link off to each other.

Mybloglog also looks at reader behavior inside the blog, like what is being read and where readers go next, delivering information that makes it easier to target ads.

Well today MyBlogLog hit it. They were purchased by Yahoo! for an undisclosed sum (sources are saying it was north of $10 million). I really like this service. It's like virtual breadcrumbs. Who's been here? Who's digging the content?
