They recently added groups which are really functional but limit communication to the masses. Their first level of forum is garbage about "how to pluck eyebrows" which their admins would rather have littering their main discussions rather than link requests which a probably more relevant seeing as most of the sites are PR3 and below. Personally I feel both services will be irrelevant after a while. Someone else is going to beat the pants off of MyBlogLog's stats by offering up to the minute stats for free instead of $5 a month and BlogCatalogs admins will kill Blog specific communication, instead it will be a bunch of Mommy blogs that never get above a PR1.
well i didn't get that Noheat ?

I am a huge fan of blog catalog, they are active and ready to help u out such as with subscribing, technorati exchange, leaving comments, etc. There are tons of groups u can join where everyone is ready and willing to jump in and help u out as long as u return the favor. I have really jump started my blog with this community. My blog log is not even on the same map in my eyes. They simply dont have it together when you try to compare. If you are a blogger and are trying to improve ranking and numbers, blog catalog is the place to be.

Ugh is PrettyLady everywhere? She was pushed out of BlogCatalog so now she is mad, the end. I use both and why not. I pay for MyBlogLog to get excellent tracking and a occasional contact. I use BlogCatalog for the forums and the community, which is a little too controlled for my taste lately but there is occasionally some good stuff there. They recently added groups which are really functional but limit communication to the masses. Their first level of forum is garbage about "how to pluck eyebrows" which their admins would rather have littering their main discussions rather than link requests which a probably more relevant seeing as most of the sites are PR3 and below.

Thats my two cents, (can't believe I say PrettyLady's screen name on the internet again). I thought the internet banned her. ;)

I am a memeber of both but I didn't realize that there so much difference between them.

I just discovered BC yesterday and had no idea what it was. I just following a link from another blog site.

By the time I was done registering and all, then of course I had no choice but to compare it to MBL.

I haven't paid much attention to the details, but I do the like the layout and real members at MBL.

I get spam once in awhile and there a lot of money making type blogs out on MBL, but nothing I can't handle. That's just the nature of the blog beast.

At this point I'm not saying that one is better than another, I believe it comes down to personal choice and whatever you're comfortable with.

I think unique feature is what help makes a community stand out and there is nothing unique about BlogCatalog. Just my opinion!

Andy, thank you for the time to show us the differences between the two communities. Admittedly, I am tilted toward MBL at the moment, but this article serves to remind me that BC has some attributes to it worth exploring. I thought I would be more involved with BUMPzee, but StumbleUpon is eating up all of my time!

It's definitely worth trying. ;) And it allows you to focus and make a more concerted entry and contribution to the community you decide to go with. I'm glad you like BZ too, but other's should be certain to understand that I can allow that they might want to do the same thing, but end up at one of the others.

hehehe... I don't always agree with me *totally*. Dig into the archives at How To and you can find threads of me arguing with myself, lol.

that said, though, I have to say that the features and who copies who and who follows who are really unimportant when compared against the one core thing in these sites.

Where feels like home? Really think about it. These sites are about building communities. That's what's important. We used to do that on FIDO with 600b modems, crazy software patching and volunteers passing the packets from one hub to the next. Installing 16 phone lines into an 80186 that didn't have enough ports for four without crazy mods.

And when you've seen one wildcat BBS you've seen them all, but people had their favorites. And their favorites were based on where they felt like home.

My path is find a home, ask for features I want and count my blessings to have been smart enough to pick a place that has such a great community.

Obviously, my path isn't for everyone, but I would submit, that if one of these communities seems hostile or unfriendly it might be best to just be shut of them and start keeping house in one of the others that feels more like home. it's gotta be worth a try at the least, right?

Thats is exactly the reason I will be going exclusively with bumpzee myself. Thanks Dan! You just helped me to make the decision. :)
