The popular weblog update tracking service, blo.gs, has recently announced that it is up for sale. The sale announcement notes that the site currently operates at about a $20/month loss, which doesn’t sound bad at all. I wonder why it’s up for an outright sale, rather than attempting to add more revenue?
Anyhow, blo.gs is a very useful service. I use it myself just about every day. Hopefully, someone will step up to take it over without disrupting the service too much. For the paranoid, the privacy policy states that an email will go out to give subscribers a chance to opt-out their personal info before a change of ownership occurs.
