AOL To Launch Blogging Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tipping-the-bandwagon dept.

Jorkapp writes "Later this summer, AOL will launch its 'AOL Journals' blog service, provided free to its members. AOL Journals (named as such, since a survey showed the average user found the word 'blog' to be confusing) will allow users to post text, pictures, and voice entries. More information can be found at the Washington Post."

  1. Will the Fad Survive the Mainstream? by StingRayGun · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Now that Google, and AOL are providing Blog service, it looks like the once underground-communications medium is now mainstream.

    Will this now-hip medium be so co-opted that it will lose it's apeal?

    Time to see if this fledgling medium has what it takes to join the ranks of eMail, or go the way of micro-payments.
