I want to post to ONE blog, but show different views to people based on the tags I assign to each entry. For instance, I'm comfortable sharing some aspects of my personal life with colleagues and anyone else who stumbles across my blog, but not all. I may share some entries some about our baby with friends and family, and some only with my mom and dad. Or I may want to share posts about gadgets with friends and the general public, but hide them from family members who have no interest in such things. I strongly believe that personalization will make it easier to bring new users into the habbit of reading and writing blogs. I was an early adopter of Multiply.com but it didn't offer half the features it does today and I had a hard time signing up my family members. I was excited about Yahoo! 360 because everyone I know already has an account so signing people up wouldn't be an issue, but so far they've missed the mark, have been slow to add new features, and their site has become a virtual ghost town. So for now, my workaround is to create multiple blogs and then create blog aggregator accounts for folks. That is way too tedious. I hope blinklife has a good plan for signing up users. Not everyone can become a Flickr and attract so many users so quickly. Good luck guys! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!

Thanks for reviewing our site and sharing your feedback. BlinkLife is not another Multilply nor is it just a blog with personalization options. Rather - it's an extension of our own BlinkList idea. (see BlinkList.com). It's a way for people to tag data, tag recipients of data, and then mix and match delivery and publishing to create whatever they wish - whether it's blogs, news sites, subscription services etc. That's all I can say for now. It's not even in Alpha stage yet. Somehow word got out early - hence the initial bugs (oops!) We're delighted at the exposure but you're really just seeing a portion of it now. I do look forward to hearing your comments when we launch. Thanks Vishen (www.mindvalley.com) Hi Guys. Thanks for reviewing our site and sharing your feedback.

You are not required to join anything to view ones blog or to comment. However, if you want to perform private messaging with someone and view them on the blog, they will need to join so they can view them there. Hisham - You are correct.
