Subject: amnezia has added you as a contact on MyBlogLog

Congratulations on your growing sphere of influence. Today, MyBlogLog; tomorrow, the world!
Well .. my standard policy is that I will add anybody who adds me as a contact, I will add that person as a contact. But when I went to my profile .. I didn’t see his picture looking at my profile … which is odd, because that’s where you ask to be a contact. So I clicked on the website and saw his post … www.webmasterwords.com/mybloglog-experiment-part-1
Needless to say, he is still a contact .. (and from the graphic below so are 4,332 others) .. but I only join communities of those MyBlogLog readers who actually visit one of my sites .. so I did not join his community.
PS: It has been pissing me off everytime I click to add a contact, that I get transported back to MY PROFILE .. and not the profile of the contact that I have just added .. but, for once it was worth it.

One of the things that Mybloglog needs, or if it has needs to be more obvious, is the ability to hide other people who have added you as a contact from showing on your profile, similar to your ability to hide yourself from showing on other people’s.

Yeah, I really like the ability to surf through and read people’s blogs and see what the people who read my blog are also reading. I also really like the widget that shows recent visitors. It’s nice to see the same “faces” coming back in a way that seems more personal than just a log file.

Hmm.. thats a very good angle that I never thought about… I gotta check up on who I’m adding myself!
