An accurate description of what's going on? Yes.

Boring and, shall we say, a tad, "lifeless?" Most Definitely.

Here's what we propose.

Leave a comment below with a phrase you think would be cool to come up as a result #1 on your search engine of choice. Manny, (the engineer who coded the feature) suggested, "best site evar" - we threw around a couple of others but then I thought - why not let everyone in on the action.

This can be our own little easter egg. Something to show your friends.

We are the proud sponsor of The Best Online Community award.  While I've already voted for my fav, I hope you'll do the same.   I can't wait to hand this award to the winner.  Take a moment to go and vote for your favorite community.

Dinner with Sharon and Ozzy?  I don't think my heart could take it, but it sounds like a blast!

Hope to see you there.  If you are going, ping me at robyn@mybloglog.com so we can exchange cell phone numbers and have a drink together.

And, stop by Flickr, and get your talking Pirate.  If you speak Pirate, and today you'd better, take a look at Yodel for the low-down.

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day
dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and
areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to
their blog visitors.

So, without further ado, here are a few blogs we think you should check out:

important and amazing

labor overseas (and guided by the mad genius Noah Kagen)

As you can tell from my list, I'm getting into GTD lately.

Now, it should be noted that most of our engineers can't count, and sent in more or less than 5.  And, as Eric turned us all onto LOLCatz, I'd be remiss not to mention ICanHasCheezburger.

Otherwise, I've enjoyed perusing all of these sites, some were great, some very helpful, and some, erm, interesting ones as well.  I can't believe how many of us read valleywag.  Our dirty little secret is out, I guess.

Now, off to look at all of your picks.

Blog Day is coming up this Friday (see their MyBlogLog community).
For fun, instead of just having me pick out 5 great sites to spotlight,
each member of our team is going to show off their own fav blogs.

Are you participating in Blog Day this Friday?  If so, leave me a
comment.  I can't wait to get introduced to your favorite blogs!

The folks over at Information Architects Japan have re-purposed the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway map and made it into a map of the Web 2.0 world. Needless to say, we were thrilled to see our own little MyBlogLog tucked in and surrounded by the likes of Twitter, Google Blogsearch, and the NYTImes. I've spent a few years in Tokyo so a quick check of the original subway map shows that MyBlogLog is in Kagurazaka - an old neighborhood once famous for it's geisha houses but now populated with small publishing houses and animation studios fed by the numerous little French bistros tucked into the back alleys.

I think that just about sums up where we see ourselves.

Yesterday was awesome.  First the STIRR shindig in Palo Alto, where we caught up with one of our favorite people, Jeff Clavier.  We also hooked up with Yahoo Superstar Ian Kennedy, OATV's Mark Jacobs and Orange Labs' Evangelist Pascale Diaine, who looked as ravishing as ever (yes, I'm constantly moon-eyed about high-tech chicks, what of it .  We also hooked up with Boris and co from the NextWeb Conference in Amsterdam.  They looked sharp in their matching white suits and filled us in on the conference deets.  Afterwards, we rolled to the Involver party in San Francisco and hung out with MyBlogLog co-founder and recent Yahoo expat Scott Rafer and Mashery CEO Oren Michels.  And because we're married lightweights, we bounced at 10:30 before we turned into pumpkins.  Thus ends this episode of "Lifestyles of the House-poor and Internet-famous".

But seriously, check out the NextWeb conference and awards.  Sure, I'm promoting them a bit because we're nominated in the Populizr category.  I'm also promoting it because a bunch of old and new buds are affiliated with it.  But mainly I'm promoting it because it's fun and simple and that's what I'm in the mood for today.  Have a look at the NextWeb Awards!

Update: Priceless picture of Ian and Todd at STIRR.
