Clearly Yahoo wants bloggers to keep using the service but doesn’t want them to look at it as a marketing tool.

MLB guys busted their behinds to put out a great service and if major players bow out because someone outside the team made a misinformed remark, then the whole system starts sucking and becomes a parlor trick for small time bloggers.

Andy, kudos for being the bigger man in all this.

[...] Ding Ding – Beal vs. Zawodny Is it me or does it seem like there has been a lot of fights between bloggers lately? The most recent one involves Andy Beal vs. Jeremy Zawodny. Jeremy posted a story complaining about how Andy was running a contest for people to join Andyâ€™s MyBlogLog community. A winner would win a Microsoft Zune. Jeremy who works at Yahoo and who also now owns MyBlogLog believed Andy was spamming. Andy fired back with a story of his own where he was unhappy to say the least. I also recommend reading the comments on both stories as they are interesting and tells even more of the story. [...]

[...] The backlash has begun with Internet marketing consultant Andy Beal boycotting MyBlogLog until they reinstate Shoemoney’s profile. He argues that anyone could have looked up the MBL data and that it was hypocritical to expect an email from Shoemoney first (pointing out that notable Yahoo! blogger Jeremy Zawodny didn’t email Andy prior to publicly accusing Andy of being a spammer). Photographer and CEO of Flickr competitor Zooomr Thomas Hawk and SEO blogger Graywolf have both removed their accounts in boycott as well. [...]

[...] The last cool thing Yahoo did was to grab Flickr. Since then, they’ve watched Google snatch up YouTube, spun their wheels on Facebook, and took us for a bumpy ride through the revamp of their ad platform. Sure they managed to acquire MyBlogLog, but the jury is still out on that one. It might become a powerful marketing medium, or just another $10 million dollar nifty social media tool. [...]

[...] In the last year I have found many little holes in applications and with networks like Google, Microsoft, Firefox and ect… I shoot them a email with what I find and they email me back and its fixed. I was doing this with the MyBlogLog people but now that they are owned by the man it seems they would rather out things publicly and try to embarrass people rather then email so lets just get these out in the open then shall we.

[...] Andy Beal: Andy has been a favorite of mine for years. Back when I was the lead programmer and web marketer over at Radiator Express, I followed Andyâ€™s posts back at Keyword Ranking and when he started Fortune Interactive, I was lucky enough to have Radiators.com be one of his first clients. Andy, in my opinion, is one of the most poignant voices out there; he pulls no punches. Over the past week Andy and Zawodny went head-to-head (which I posted about) â€“ for those who arenâ€™t caught up, itâ€™s a good series of threads to read. [...]

[...] I’m sure most of you have heard about the little “JZ vs. Andy Beal” drama that went in the last day or two. To sum it up, Shoemoney and Andy Beal made a little bet or something to see who could get the most new members in their MyBlogLog communities. Shoemoney decided to use an icon of some woman with a nice rack, and Andy Beal took the “Win a Zune” approach. Jeremy’s take on the “Win a Zune” icon was that it was spam, and wrote about it here.

3 GrÃ¼nde warum Jeremy Zawodny cooler ist als Matt Cutts — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 09:52:12 +0000

[...] Ich halte die Fähigkeit Fehler einzugestehen und Streits nicht eskalieren zu lassen für eine der wichtigsten überhaupt. In einer Welt wo alle Übeltaten online archiviert werden und Fehltritte von Suchmaschinen leicht vor dem eigenen Webauftritt gelistet werden können ist es unheimlich wichtig seine Integrität zu schützen und eine halbwegs weiße Weste zu bewahren. Das ist nicht der einzige aber ein guter Grund für ethisches Verhalten. Andy Beals scheint das ähnlich zu sehen. Die Reue und Reflektiertheit, die Jeremy auszeichnet, lässt Matt Cutts leider vermissen. Auf die Plagiatsvorwürfe von (zufällig auch) Jeremy reagiert Matt Cutts wie ein Kind, dem man das Spielzeug weggenommen hat. Auch sonst finde ich Matts Äußerungen in letzter Zeit zumindestens fragwürdig. [...]

Thanks Kim. I agree that no matter who you are, when you blog, you represent your employer, regardless of the disclaimers.

I hated watching you experience this Andy. Anyone who knows you would have also been here when you and Shoemoney first started your “competition”. It was done out in the open and had Mybloglog had any objections to it, THEY could have spoken up or contacted you, back then.

There’s something more happening here, which is rampant now all over the Internet. And that is the ease, freedom and ability to publically blast an individual, company or website to hell. It’s common to see public accusations made in an emotional state, or delivered with no research. It seems to be accepted behavior to purposely pick on people, no matter who they are, just because you can. Jeremy Z. even admitted to knowing you. That somehow makes what he did okay? We meet someone and they become an easy target?

When someone with a huge following or strong reputation also publically goes after someone half-cocked, I lose respect for them and rarely do they get it back. It’s especially important, in my mind, that though a blog may be considered one’s own opinion, when the blog writer is an employee or representative of a large corporation, they are a public face to that company, whether they want to be or not.

I’m sorry for a long comment. I think there’s more to your experience that’s worthy of exploring, for those interested in human behavior and the Internet

You are owed an apology Andy. Surely this will not harm your business but having your name attached to the word spam by a respected Yahoo! figure is wrong.

On the business side how many clients have you counseled to use Yahoo! marketing services?

Perhaps Yahoo! should apologize.
I do like the new avatar, very clever!

I’m glad to see that Jeremy finally apologized.

Everyday it becomes more and more clear to me the awesome responsibility bloggers have.

It is so easy to wake up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed, and say something that you’ll regret later.

The web is an unforgiving place. By the time you figure out you said something wrong, it has been archived by a dozen places already.

Hopefully enough positivity will come out of the conclusion to offset some of the bad vibes it caused.
