Most of us have our own Blogs and almost everyone has a favorite blog or blogger beside youself. You know what topics they write on, you might even know their backgrounds, their work, their history.. but how much do you know about people like yourself with interests similar to you visiting your favorite blog? Well, you don’t know anything besides the off comment on a post here and there.

The Internet today is one big Global village with everything interconnected. MyBlogLog is the service which helps bridge this divide between you and other people on your favorite blog besides also helping you connect with the blogger of that particular site. You can connect with other readers, know more about them, read their blogs, the communities they are in, even check out their MySpace or Friendster profiles and also their Flickr photostreams. MyBlogLog also helps out the authors know more about their readers both individually and as a group… what their interests are, what they like or dislike, what else is going on in the blogosphere, what are they reading etc.
