MyBlogLog today is rolling out a tiny new feature you'll likely be noticing on sites that employ the MyBlogLog widget. They're calling it their "seal of approval," and it will tell you that the site owner has gone through a verification procedure, [img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/mybloglog-truthiness.jpg" caption="" credit="" alt="mybloglog-truthiness.jpg"]assuring MyBlogLog, and thus visitors, that they do indeed have write access to the blog featured on the community page.
I had to ponder for a minute to try to grasp the advantage in this. Presumably, if a widget appears on a web page, it could only get there because the site owner put it there. Common sense would tend to dictate that there aren't that many roving bands of hackers roaming the intarwebs breaking into blog servers and installing the MyBlogLog widget.
MyBlogLog says that it is presently just a "visual indicator," but will eventually be developed to show "higher levels of truthiness" presumably to show how far the site owner has gone to verify site credentials. Perhaps in the world of eCommerce this is an advantage, but in the world of blogging, credentials and "truthiness" is determined by reporting credibility, in my experience, rather than how many hoops the site author has jumped through.
