1. Hilarious!
   Quick, somebody setup a site with a cross reference to everyone!
   I wanna be Matt Cutts, no Darren Rowse, no, Greg! Ya Greg B.

2. Holy crap that’s so awesome. 😀

3. all you have to do is look at there avatars to get there ssid numbers

4. Hacking MBL is a sport for Jeremy. 😉

5. To be honest its not even a challenge and I would not really call these hacks just more like fun tricks. I am glad they showed us the way to point out these things is publicly. Its much more fun.

6. Ouch. Just, ouch.

7. Well I see you added my name to the list. If my wife finds my profile on a porn blog, you can do the explaining! 😉

8. These guys are really having a bad week 🙂

9. […] Shoemoney has the scoop […]

10. ShoeMoney mentioned it above.. but to clarify:

    To get someone’s MBL id just go to a page with MBL avatars being displayed:

    http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/rafer/

    Right-click the avatar you want, and click View or Copy Location.

    Then you have a url ending in: 2005030322105594_avatar.jpg

    The string of numbers is the SID.

    Hey MyBlogLog idiots: at the very freaking least, obfuscate between the private key (member SID) and the very public avatar key.

11. […] MyBlogLog widget as somebody else. now this is a flaw that really needs to get fixed right away and thanks should go out to Shoemonkey for finding it but really did you then need to provide a list of bloggers for people to […]

12. You’re scary sometimes, you know that, right?

13. Hey, can y’all verify for me that this has been patched? Thanks!

14. Nope. Not even close.

15. I am still surfing as shoemoney here!

16. […] Jeremy of ShoeMoney shows how you can surf the web as other MyBlogLog members. […]

17. Hey Blue — can you tell me which site you’re on that shows you as Shoe? It’s possible that one of our scripts didn’t get upgraded and it would be great to know where you’re seeing this.

21. lol you scraped there whole site and put it in your db?

22. Hilarious…the MBL guys needs some makeover now.

23. Man, you scraped the whole site?!? You should have just waited a few weeks for the API.

25. Welcome to the big leagues.

26. LOL this should be fun to play with 😉 I hope mybloglog is watching your blog jeremy so they can fix this issue.

27. M*tha F*ckin Genius! You the man Shoe! I want to be your Padawan Learner so I can be come the next Shoemoney Jedi Pimp!

28. Now you can build your own site, with a ton of ringtone ads. Same content, same images, but more ads, and more money.

    This is slowly becoming the end of MBL as we once knew it back in 06.

30. That’s a real shame – they really didn’t benefit from banning you. If anything, they’ve drawn more attention to their faults without eliminating the true problem – their site.

    There’s probably a lesson here though. Whenever you’re going to “stick it to the man”, put it on a fake myspace site and just link to that!

    Have a great day!
