RIP MyBlogLog

Sources say the service is finally closing down, after rumours of its demise surfaced about a year ago, joining other services yahoo picked up over the years. The news broke originally via twitter in a tweet reportedly posted by one of the original founders of MyBlogLog!

In a statement about the current status of one particular site, Yahoo said 'we are not shutting down Delicious'.

The firm added that the site was 'not a strategic fit' and that 'there is an ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive'.

Just in case you were wondering what the co-founders of soon-to-be dead MyBlogLog are up to, Eric Marcoullier and Todd Sampson started a new website/collective named OneTrueFan. (A better title would be "OneMoreThingToSlowYourBrowserLoadTime" - a must to avoid if you want to keep your Google PageRank high enough to make a little adsense money!)

To A Better Bathroom!

The first apartment we rented when we got married had the most amazing bathroom. I found out later that it had been created by knocking down a wall that resulted in the joining of a sunporch with a rather large pantry when the building was sub-divided by a previous landlord. The floor plan was well thought-out.

The towel racks, mirrors and other accessories were strategically placed and of the highest quality. The same could be said of the sink, tubs, faucets and tiles. (Not to mention oodles of closet space). I decided then and there that one day when we bought our own home, this would be the way I want our bathroom to look!

Fast forward to today... we recently closed on a wonderful house in a really great neighborhood. We'll be happy and safe. The kids will attend a wonderful school that's just a few blocks away! The first project when we move in (actually BEFORE we move in) is the bathroom!

First things first! I ventured out on the net in search of the bathroom furniture and accessories we will need. I found an amazing site, betterbathrooms!

All of the products are showcased on the landing page! They are eye-catching, with strong designs suggesting timeliness and durability. On the sidebar of the webpage there are things I had on my list, such as bathroom mirrors, along with things I hadn't thought of, like heated towel rails! (Which are now ON my list too!)

Betterbathrooms' website is very user-friendly: clear, concise and precise! That's just the way I like it when I'm ordering things!

Best of all, I can use my Master Card or Visa when I make my purchases. And should I need any particular fittings or adhesives, they are readily available directly through betterbathrooms! They're all about good products, fair prices and great service!

My Bloghopping Find: Pinoy Teens Online

Have you encountered a site entitled Pinoy Teens Online during your bloghopping? If haven't, then you definitely must visit them, now.


As a Filipino, I'm proud to say that this site was created by Filipino teenagers and prides itself as the Philippines first and only Youth Site for Change. Although the site's market is mainly the Filipino teens, the site is brimming with content and information that older Pinoys who are teens-at-heart and even foreigners will enjoy reading.

Pinoy Teens Online feature different subject matters ranging from local and foreign news, entertainment, blogging tips and youth activities and campaigns. There are also educational topics (some sort of tutorial for different subject areas) and commentaries. Of course, social, emotional, financial and other issues faced by teeners in their day-to-day activities at home, at school and in the society are also discussed.

I just hope that the site's design is more colorful considering that the site wishes to capture the youth market. Nevertheless, it's black (or dark gray?) main color gives the impression that they taking their mission of bringing about positive change in the Philippines, South East Asia and everywhere seriously.

And that is what matters.
