that VeriSign has purchased weblogs.com. And now that it’s not just rumour anymore, it’s appropriate to comment.

What a bloody nightmare. VeriSign haven’t met a service they couldn’t screw up, a trust they couldn’t break, a marginally ethical lock-in they didn’t do everything in their power to try to gain over their own customers. I can’t imagine a worse option. Hope Dave’s happy with his money though - whatever your opinion of the guy, he has provided a fantastic service that was absolutely critical to the development of the world of blogs.

Update: Paidcontent.org has the details. There’s more all over the web. People seem a great deal more optimistic about VeriSign than I am - I guess that many lucky people have avoided being VeriSign customers.

that he’s heard from multiple sources that Weblogs.com has been sold to Verisign. Stranger things have happened I suppose.

continues to evolve, and at least now it’s getting some notice on the main protagonist’s principal (and by far most-viewed) page.

all of the weblogs.com blogs, that had been hosted for free for several years. I don’t want to get into the pros and cons, just to reference the post so that anyone who wants their site back can go and leave a comment and regain access to their posts.

Does everyone know about this? If you liked the old version of Weblogs.Com better than the new version, you’ll probably love the Subhonker Filter.
