Like many bloggers today I have been running the MyBlogLog widget in my sidebar. Have been running...
Over the weekend I noticed that the widget had stopped appearing!
I still have the code in my sidebar and I see that the site tracking is still working yet, it no longer shows up in my blog or any of the blogs I frequently read.
There is nothing to be found on the MyBloLog Blog about this, or anywhere else on the Internet.
Consider the following to be a list of open questions for Eric and company:
1) Why have you not notified your customers of this problem?
2) Do you have any employees who work weekends?
3) Is this going to be an ongoing problem with weekends? The last debacle occurred over a long weekend.
4) How can you expect us to stay with you if your reliability is in question?
UPDATE: As of 7:00AM EST today the widget has begun to show itself again.

I totally missed this disappearing over the weekend. How long was it out for you?
I would have to say that it was down for about 48 hours.
I also noticed that as well. Thanks for the heads up, I thought it just happened to me.
It was only down for a short period of time … it would, however, have been nice to go to MBL and see a message or something.
MBL has been problems for me lately as well. Not to mention their customer support sucks big time. I pretty much regret upgrading to Pro, it’s been nothing but a waste of money.
I’m not sure about that just yet. I paid up for a year in advance and now that I have fixed my missing scripts problem I expect to see better data tracking.
I’m afraid of Google banning the use of MBL and Adsense on the same page. MBL tracks and collects data on outgoing clicks, including ads and I’m pretty sure Google wouldn’t be too happy to have that private information released.
I dont think they would really do this. Google only really has issue with contextual advertising that is similar to the Google ads. There are many that think with the new TOS that a change in color will be enough to get other contextual networks on the same page.
Yea. Sometimes it isn’t, then it pops up again from nowhere when you refresh. What could be happening?
