MyBlogLog and Zemanta; the 2 most necessary services in your blogger toolbox
How many times have you sat down in your favorite chair, ready to write the epic blog post, only to loose steam halfway through? Seriously, that happens to me all the time, before Zemanta that is.
Start out with an idea, and Zemanta will take over the heavy work by helping you find photos, tags and related links that will take your basic blog post to the next level.
So it was only natural that MyBlogLog and Zemanta would hook up and bring you the hotness. Check out your blog community page, and right there, seamlessly blended in with the RSS feed is Reblog:
Go ahead, go back and browse through your MyBlogLog communities and check up on your favorite blogs. See a blog post that grabs your eye? Clicking Reblog will capture the post that caught your fancy and set you up use it as the inspiration for your own blog update! Pick a quote; add some tags, maybe a photo or two and bingo! There’s your post. Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Making blogging social and turning up the volume for online conversation? Just another way we help bring together everything that a blogger needs in one place!
Signing off. Peace, Out

Some of you have already heard but last Friday was my last day with Yahoo and the MyBlogLog team. An opportunity to point myself in a new direction came my way that was just to compelling to pass up. I want to thank you all for your support during my last year and a half with MyBlogLog.
I have had a blast learning from you and it's been amazing experience working with the MyBlogLog team. They are a rare mix of roll-up-your-sleeves-and-just-get-it-done super-brains that have been cranking out new and innovative features on such a regular basis that constantly exceeds expectations. You guys are rock stars.
I am riding off into the sunset but the product is in good hands.
Tilly, our ever bubbly Community Manager, will continue to be your regularly scheduled hostess for all things MyBlogLog. She's been hard at work bringing the Yahoo Customer Care folks up to speed on how we do things so that she can have a little help from people that truly can help.
Todd will take the tiller of the good ship MBL which should be second nature to him as he was one of the blokes who dreamed up this whole thing in the beginning.
There are some really cool things in the queue, some still on the drawing board, others tucked away on dev servers where they are incubating. In case you haven't noticed, the market has gone haywire so many things are in a holding pattern until the team is allowed to staff up again to fully support what they've built. I won't steal Tilly's thunder as she's itching to introduce these new features herself but I hope, as a customer of MyBlogLog, that these new features come to light sooner rather than later.
So see you all around. I'll still be hanging out on MyBlogLog but as a fellow member, not one of the inner circle.
