Since only the paranoid survive, I have been playing around with the new MyWeb2.0 from Yahoo! and I have to say that overall I am underwhelmed. Their site is neither fun nor easy to use. I can see that they incorporated a couple of features from blinklist and then also tried to take it to the next level by adding social networking.

However, I don't think they have really nailed the concept. At the end of the day, the users are going to decide but I am confident that we have a good chance to keep innovating to make blinklist more fun and exciting. Of course this is a gigantic task and just with its size alone Yahoo! can pile on many more users in a day than us.

Overtime, however, I am confident that blinklist will continue to grow via word of mouth by providing an excellent product to our users and turning them into evangelists for our service. I know, blinklist is not yet there, but we are getting closer to releasing our next update with some exciting improvements.
