Bloggers: Help Save MyBlogLog From Closure

Back when I first started this blog, I looked into finding various ways to get traffic. One way is to join forums and become part of a group. One of the popular sites at the time was MyBlogLog. I joined and found it to be pretty cool and useful.
The part I liked the best about it was you could view your site stats. It told you what link readers came from, what pages they viewed and what links they clicked on. The free version only gave you the top 10 for each list. You had to upgrade to see the full list. The free version told me more about site visitors than any other stat site I found though.
BTW, if you can recommend a good stat site, which gives you all of that information in a clear, simple list, please let me know.
Lots of people I met when I used to autosurf were also on MyBlogLog. There were lots of active users on there. Found some pretty useful blogs at MyBlogLog.
Not really sure why I stopped using MyBlogLog. Probably lack of time, but I stopped around the time Yahoo took over just because it was a pain logging in. I couldn't just stay logged in and always go to my homepage when I typed in http://www.mybloglog.com. I would always get logged out automatically and then get redirected to sign in with my Yahoo account. Just an extra step that was annoying.
Unfortunately, Yahoo didn't do much with MyBlogLog once it became owner, and they have now decided to completely shut it down on May 24, 2011. Pretty sad because all of the bloggers and their info are still there. You can still get the great stat info on your sites. It's all still the same as when I first joined. It's a great site for bloggers to connect.
Luckily, BlogCatalog also feels that MyBlogLog is a great site with lots of untapped potential because they want to buy it and resurrect MyBlogLog. Unfortunately, Yahoo isn't really interested in selling. They just want to shut it down. As an email from BlogCatalog points out, Yahoo should just sell it to BlogCatalog and donate the money to those in need. Great idea! Japan would be a great place to start.
BlogCatalog and BloggersUnite.org have joined forces to save MyBlogLog and are asking bloggers to write a post explaining to Yahoo that selling MyBlogLog is a much better idea than just shutting it down.
Here's the link if you are interested in helping save MyBlogLog.
