It feels like a lot of sour grapes going around the techie world...startups are just jealous of Scott Rafer and the founders of MyBlogLog for coming up with a great widget and being purchased by a high hat like Yahoo so soon out of the gate. You best believe the bots will be under control before his crew even touches down in SFO. In the meantime, I'm finding a lot of great blogs to subscribe to -- like this very one that I only found <b>thru</b> MyBlogLog! And a lot of folks are <a href="http://technorati.com/faves/PAULANEALMOONEY?add=http://paulamooney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">favoring my blog on Technorati</a> and <a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/WheelinTheSky" rel="nofollow">joining my Wheel in the Sky MyBlogLog community</a> and I?m joining their communities and favoring their blogs on Technorati in order to keep up with their posts.

As soon as it gets really popular, which it is doing quickly, it will be rather worthless.

It's comforting to know the right people are listening. Good stuff Scott, like what you’ve done with the place.

Please pardon the inconvenience they cause in the meantime. We're working to make sure social spam is kept to a minimum without overloading the site with Captchas etc. Please message me on the site "Rafer" if you see something that you don't like (or that you do!!).

I was actually drawn to your blog for the very reason you've posted here, just how much spam is there? I received a very spammy message with some URLs in within about 5 seconds of joining, which I guess was from a bot. However, doesn't seem too bad at the moment, but there will need to be some serious lockdown and more people get wind of the system and have time in their basements coding nasties. Nice post.

I agree that it is very easy to game, and I am surprised it has not been done yet (fi it has they are really good!) I will hang around on it until I get bored, or it drowns in a rising tide of spam.

On mybloglog I am only adding people who are interested in the area of Web Development, marketing or SEO, it's possible I made a mistake and added someone who is only insterested in beef jerky or Marmalots by mistake, but that is not my intention. The point of a social network is to contact people with similar interests and interact. I know some people call this behaviour spam, I don't know how to respond to that. Surely the defination is all in the intention. I don't think I am weaving a tangled web, I think it's a rather neat web. Please note the quality of the posts here (even though you may disagree) and the distinct lack of Adsense or any other form of monetisation. I merely wish to converse and connect.

Lyndon!!! What a tangled web we weave... I still have a lot to learn!!! I didn't even make a post about Mybloglog on any of my sites!!! I didn't know you, or Shoemoney (who???). So, this is why he invited me on his team!!!! Oh!!! but you also then!!! I see the light... (or do I???) Hum!!! and I thought that it was all nice and clean on the blog scene (hate the blogosphere term!!! I am a rebel at heart!!!) Thanks for your note and by the way, I put a link to your site on my site (did I learn something?). I think that we can learn a lot from you. Yea!!! I learned something new today... Wow!!! Lyndon!!!

My point is, I find mybloglog useful and if a ton of spam deluged the site that would be annoying. I am simply pointing out the way it can be gamed and to watch out.
