MyBlogLog becomes an expert locator
MyBlogLog is a blog network and community, basically you register yourself as a person and register your blogs, people can message you, and add you as a friend, they can also join your blog as a community fan.
So you could describe it as a social network for blogs, but now it’s even more, it is an expert locator based on explicit tags. This means yourself and others can tag your user space, and all your blogs.
Since I’ve only got one blog and I blog about all my interests, the tags for my user space and the tags for my blog are quite similar. I suppose I don’t blog about music, so I could tag myself with some music tags like “electronica”.
At the moment they don’t have a tag cloud so you have to append the URL eg. http://mybloglog.com/buzz/tags/folksonomy
Similar blog network type services as an expert locator are: ziki, others online, explode, blogcatalog…also see selected Lifestream services (these are similar to Ziki).
Ziki allows you to tag others, but this is only displayed in your view, whereas when you tag others in MyBlogLog it’s there on the general view, just hover over a tag and see who tagged that person with that tag…I wonder if they got this discover and reciprocate tagging from Fringe Contacts.
I guess the Technorati Blog Finder is an expert locator, like most of the others it’s only based on self tags.
MyBlogLog blog (that’s a mouthful) tells us that you can change the settings on others tagging you…it can be set at me, my contacts, everyone.
