the sale of blo.gs has been completed, and i'm proud to announce that yahoo! has acquired the service. as of now, yahoo! is running blo.gs.
this is the sort of good home that i was looking for -- yahoo! obviously has the resources to run and improve blo.gs in pace with the incredible growth of blogs (and syndication in general), and in talking with them it was also clear that we had some of the same vision for the future of the service and the ping/notification infrastructure.
for users of the website and the cloud interface, nothing much is changing. the service will continue to be completely open, and both yahoo! and i hope you continue to use it and help it grow.
even though i'll no longer be operating blo.gs, i'm not going to disappear from the community. i'm still very interested in blogging and syndication, and believe that blo.gs will continue to have a major impact as a key player in the evolving ping and blogging infrastructure.
some people have asked about the privacy policy during the transition. yahoo! is keeping the blo.gs privacy policy as-is, and the data collected on blo.gs will continue to be subject to that same privacy policy.
