I definitely see the viral potential within that community.

I’d rather take the high road and research the statistics myself, assuming that the Widget may not be as accurate as it is perceived.

Overall, great to note this new tool, and surely we can look out for Yahoo to advance it in the near future.

I understand your frustration, and though there are always incompatibility issues (with just about every sort of script out there), this still scores the nice “cute little widget” factor by me. It may not have value to everyone, but I think it’s a nifty little tool and beats other widgets/applications out there.

I know a lot of people removed the MyBlogLog widget, but I also know that that the issue was quickly addressed by the MyBlogLog team. I think you can’t really beat that.

First, they only offer that badge using Javascript. They just cut out all the MySpace users, lots of hosted blogs and everyone that hates adding Javascript to a page. I’m one of those people that hates adding script to a page and out of thrity or so sites I run I have three sites that I can’t add JS to.

Want to send them some feedback from the ‘link badge’ page? Clicking the link takes you to some Digg style voting page on which there’s nothing about link badges.

Oh wait, there’s another feedback link. Clicking that must take you to the feedback form. Well, it might, if you were logged in to your Yahoo account.

And with the recent reports about people removing the MyBlogWidget because of the slow load times or other errors, how long before the ‘link badge’ starts adding seconds to page load times?
