Yahoo buys MyBlogLog
- 0 Comments
Yes, it’s true!
I first read this story on Echo Mixed Nuts and couldn’t believe it. After further research, I was getting mixed signals from different websites.
Some reported MyBlogLog has been sold for about 10 million, while others were reporting that they were still in the early stages with Yahoo!
After going right to the source, MyBlogLog (their blog) reported they have in fact been acquired by Yahoo! and the entire team will be moving the San Francisco. Congratulations to the MyBlogLog team on their sale, it definitely paid off.
The Yahoo! team reports they don’t plan to change MyBlogLog right away, and it seems they will remain separate from Yahoo. One article I had read, the author wished that Google had purchased MyBlogLog, and I had to laugh.
No official word has been made as far as I’ve seen as to how much Yahoo had to pay, but like I mentioned, it is rumored to be about 10 million dollars.
I hope the purchase will help mybloglog as a website, and not make it another corporate website with no heart.
