The MyBlogLog Blog The source for all things MyBlogLog.

Congrats to Iain Dale, et al.

Sites about a particular topic appear on MyBlogLog in bursts. Since Iain Dale created a community for his Diary early in September, British liberals and conservatives have been following him onto the service in droves. Today 18 Doughty Street, "Britain’s first political Internet TV Channel," launched and Iain's a big part of it.

He and I have not corresponded, but Iain must like our service a bit as someone at 18doughtystreet created a community for the new site and installed one of our widgets at 10am US EDT this morning. In just the last five hours, 18 people have joined the new community.

We are beginning to have enough visitors in this interest group that we're driving a bit of traffic back to those blogs. Iain Lindley posted his referrer stats for September, and MyBlogLog did pretty darn well. He only signed up for MyBlogLog on September 18th, and we're #3 on his list for the month. In addition to Councillor Lindley, a least half-dozen other British councillors (plus these) and hundreds of concerned citizens and commentators are now on on MyBlogLog.

We owe everyone a good way to organize around the topics they care about. We're working out what to do. Suggestions are welcome.
