MyBlogLog integrates with Yahoo!

Yahoo has acquired MyBlogLog aeons ago (for around US$12 million, as rumored). Several months later, MyBlogLog has been integrated to Yahoo via the Yahoo ID system.

Earlier today, as I signed in to MyBlogLog, I was asked for my Yahoo ID and password, then the system discovered through my Yahoo email address that I already have a MyBlogLog account, and so the system merged my Yahoo and MyBlogLog info seamlessly.

Note that during the merging, your avatar will be changed to that of your Yahoo profile.

What changes have you noticed after the integration? Post your impressions on the comments.

    I hope they didn’t have to take out your current display pic and forced you to use Yahoo’s avatars. They wiped out my Tim Yap-hair avatar :’(

    Yeah, that’s not a great idea. Heck, I saw a lot of MyBlogLog users whose avatars are just those ugly smileys.

    We’re sorry that you have to re-upload your userpic but this is a necessary evil in order to host higher resolution photos on the Yahoo global caching network. It’s a one-time process that will result in a noticeable bump in performance of your widgets.
