Anyway, when TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington shows up on your MBL widget, something’s brewing:
I am making an educated guess that it’s got something to do with the MyBlogLog post I put up.
And I see that Mike has just put up an update that MyBlogLog founder Eric Marcoullier’s new project, Gnip (or gnip central to be exact).
No official word on Eric’s personal blog.
The Gnip Central site which will focus on “Web 2.0 Infrastructure” is still in stealth mode.
