Not Your Slightly Older Friends MyBlogLog

MyBlogLog. Oh yeah, that's the service that tells you who's seen your site, right? It's cute.
Uhm. well, yes and no.
I mean it's still does that (and does outbound link tracking and shows you things of interest for folks that visit your site which you can't get from your logs), but that's just a tiny fraction of the stuff you can do with it. To be honest, MyBlogLog is a heck of a lot more.
We've talked about some of the things here, but honestly, I don't think folks really get all the stuff they've put out. For one, you can store connections to various social networks there (41 on last count), and much like friendfeed, you can get updates on various contact's doings and happenings. What's more, unlike friendfeed which just rolled out their API, MyBlogLog's API has been out for months, and is nearly constantly getting new features rolled out to it. (Heck, does FriendFeed use your phone or laptop's bluetooth configuration to let you spot folks around you like m.mybloglog.com?
Thing is, they like doing this on the quiet and surprising folks. It's just a shame that more folks haven't noticed what these guys have been up to.
