Don’t know whether you’ve used our Blogbar to look for “Blogbar” on Technorati, recently.

Apart from our usual friends of Blogbar.de (very famous in Germany, it looks) we’ve seen a new contender coming, and trying to preempt the Blogbar name… the man is Sabeer Bhatia, and he’s recently launched a new concept called Blogeverywhere.

The man is quite well-known from the Internet community. From what I gather, he’s the founder (or one of the founders) of Hotmail, which he successfully sold to MSFT a few years back.

As from his project, I can’t say much (I’m on a Mac, see, and he’s offering a .exe to download..;)… but as for the use of the name,

Sabeer, back off ! Blogbar is OUR name  

The winner of the 1st Blogbar Design Contest is… Vince Wouaib !
