    Scared of bubble 2.0, then techcrunch can think of writing a lot about those auctions in ebay..

    I know what you mean. I get tired of all the "world news" crap on CNN.
  • abyssknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I used to work at the company who started MyBlogLog, and I am very glad they finally pushed this through even if it is in the early stages. (And even if TechCrunch leaked it.) Congrats to all the dev's and especially to Steve. The product is amazing, and Yahoo is the perfect match to make it really shine.

    Yahoo would be crazy to pass this up, especially at that price.
  • yottabite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FTA: Update: One of Yahoo’s PR firms, OutkastPR, emailed us to say that this story is innacurate, and that Yahoo has not acquired MyBlogLog. We dug a little deeper with some insiders and it appears that Yahoo and MyBlogLog are in very early acquisistion discussions, and nothing more. Founder Scott Rafer was completely silent when asked about the rumors today - suggesting he didn’t mind getting all the press attention.
  • toprank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yahoo seems to keep the companies it acquires in the web 2.0 space pretty much in tact. I wonder if that will be the case with MyBlogLog?
