Competition in blog agregation and social bookmaking has increased in the recent months with developments like Afrigator’s founders buying back shares from MIH. Myscoop today annouced an improved look and feel via the founder’s (Nick Duncan) blog.

Some of the new features included in the upgrade include:-

• Added the Latest and Popular articles to the front page
• Popular article tag cloud installed. This is a global representation of the most popular unique tags from every article fetched.
• Top30 (month & day) blogs on front page for better exposure.
• “More” link on each article to provide the shortened URI for that article as well as let the user have the ability to share the article on Twitter of Facebook.
• “Monthly Reach” and “Todays Reach” added to the blog page. This is a percentage of tracked unique visitors your blog is receiving compared to the overall number of unique visitors myScoop is recording for all registered blogs.

On another note, myScoop.co.za has reached a PageRank™ of 3, which means that if you’re article is mentioned on the front page, that link juice is sent directly to your blog.

Myscoops closest competitors include muti and afrigator
