It’s kind of sad that MBL was supposed to be the one that knew what bloggers wanted. I guess they didn’t know after all.

Things move at lightning fast speed it seems – and how the tides turn.
MBL cool on Monday. Old by Friday.

I don’t get the boycott really. Yeah, they could’ve handled it better but it was UNCOOL for Shoe to put out those ID’s and basically let everyone know how to spam the system. This whole thing seems a little bandwagon-y to me. I’m keeping the thing on my blog (for now).

Yea – but we pick our bandwagons to ride;)

Both sides didn’t handle it right imo – but for me it was the straw that broke the camel’s back – it’s cool seeing who visited, but not a lot of value there really.

Shoe told them about security hole. That was worth much more than the damage from his post.

What was that downtime all about?

After being hacked recently, I am actually ashamed of you taking this action.

What they did was put up a 403 to prevent someone hacking them and then exposing them.

Shoe obviously has people actively looking for hack bait.

Why doesn’t he do this for Adsense (which has holes) or Wordpress? Because that would place his own business in danger and MBL are a soft target.

With all due respect, don’t be a lemming in this argument. MBL has been incredibly receptive and responsive to bloggers. Eric has been totally transparent – often spending each night commenting on any blog that references MBL. What Shoemoney is doing now is simply childish. The argument now is that they track Google and Yahoo Ads… a FEATURE of their system! He quietly states that in a very inflammatory post.
