MyBlogLog’s New Fly(out) Widget

MyBlogLog’s Reader Roll, the website & blog widget that shows recent visitors, has launched a major upgrade. In addition to a more stylish design (which is completely skinnable) the new Reader Roll gives a lot more information about who is visiting the site.

New Reader RollWhen you move your cursor over the face of someone in the Reader Roll, a new “flyout” appears. The flyout gives you information on the person — such as location, gender, a short about-me sentence, and sites authored — at a glance. Of course, you can still click on any of the information shown about a person to find out more.

This is much more than a better looking Reader Roll. It is a big step in helping authors and readers of sites to get to know each other better. And that is what MyBlogLog is all about after all.

    It’s amazing, how Yahoo’s doing everything right now. Launching new projects, upgrades old ones, etc. This should be all the time, not just after bad Q results and so on.
