Yahoo will soon kill off MyBlogLog, the service it acquired from the eponymous company behind it back in early 2007.
Here’s the message that was just emailed to all users (myself included):

Sincerely,
The Yahoo! My BlogLog Team
MyBlogLog basically enabled you to track who was visiting your website or blog.
Not that the shutdown is much of a surprise. In a now-famous leaked internal slide, Yahoo already acknowledged that it would be ‘sunsetting’ the service (and others) at some point.
