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."

    Now all the AoHaXoRs will be able to find eLiTe access tokens to mess with people's journals and create new keywords. Yay for nostalgia!

    Someone in the media made up the word about six months ago and is now one of those "information superhighway" type terms that everybody except computer users use.

    It is used in place of the word "diary," when one wishes to record their feelings without sounding feminine and frivolous.

    However, it is an ugly word. To me, it sounds like one of those floating turds that refuses to get flushed down the toilet.
