Yahoo! Acquires MyBlogLog and Bix

by pittfall on November 17, 2006

Yahoo! went out and picked up a couple of new additions today: Bix and MyBlogLog.

MyBlogLog:

MyBlogLog enables you to take advantage of your existing presence on the Web and ties it into communities of like-minded readers and authors to add context to the conversations in which you take part. MyBlogLog.com

Translation: Take your blog over to the social networking side.

Bix:

American Idol proved not just that we love watching the highs and lows of wannabe superstars, but that a surprising number of us wanted to be up there. It’s these two factors that make Bix, a company enabling public and private contests online, think the service it’s about to launch is a winner. Techcrunch

Translation: Waste more time online with needless contests.

Both of these new purchases by Yahoo! prove that they are looking to pick up online products that keep people online. Social sites like these can get them an audience or please the audience they already have.

Not my tea and crumpets, but someone must be logging in.
