MyBlogLog Success Story
September 9th, 2007 Posted in Success Story, Startup, VideoIt’s a long video (90 minutes), but it contains a gold mine of information. If you don’t know, MyBlogLog is a stat tracker and blog community. They are most recognized for their sidebar widget for seeing who is reading your blog via a small picture (need to set it up on this blog).
MyBlogLog was recently sold to Yahoo for millions of dollars as you have probably heard. The video has the two original founders, Todd Sampson and Eric Marcoullier, talk about their experiences and advice.
I learned a lot. From what to do when you’re starting out to how to deal with venture capital and acquisitions. They also touch on their theories of where the web is heading and where the value is. Think Facebook and beyond.
Anyway, really cool video. If you’re looking to start something, you’ll get a lot out of it.

90 minutes? Holy cow, I need to sit down one evening and watch that. Maybe grab a beer while I’m at it. Good find though, I haven’t seen this yet.

Hey Carl… Glad you liked the video. Eric and I had a blast giving the talk at the TechStars event. It was the first time that we actually sat down and told the whole MyBlogLog story together.
Cheers,
Todd
