Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs?
Tee Emm writes "Sven Latham reports on his Yet Another Blog that Yahoo is (probably) experimenting with its blog services for its general users. The test bench is in Korea and may be followed by an international service on yahoo.com. On the main Yahoo site, blogs.yahoo.com as well as blog.yahoo.com both are active though they take you to yahoo groups interface."
The irony is palpable.

Now what would be cool is if they could intergrate Yahoo IM so you could blog from your IM window. OF course just being careful that your talk with FitGirl 18/f/US (who is actually FatBloke 37/m/US) isn;t automatically logged :)

The story on slashdot was longer than the story it linked to.
I've always thought the word "Blog" sounded like something you heaved up...
::sound of blog hitting ground::
"Whats wrong with Bill today, is he sick?"
"Yeah, he's at home, blogging up his guts."
"Oh, I hate it when I blog."
or
"OH MY GOD PULL OVER I AM GOING TO BLOG!!"
"BLOG!! BLOG BLOG!!! ugh, I dont feel well..."
This is my sig. Its pathetic.
Spent all day reading slashdot again. I posted a comment and it never even got any points. Fark had an awesome story about a guy doing something dumb. I finally have my very own blog so I can share my thoughts with the world.

Spent all day reading slashdot again. Just upgraded to Windows XP. It sucks.
There might be a downside I don't see.
Every 90 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is gving birth.
She must be found, and stopped.
This is just another addition to the idea "I want to be reachable everywhere and I want to let everyone know how interesting I am".
;)
Most people just don't see the point of how this makes them less interesting.
That said, let's make another entry in my journal
People blogged about sandwiches? Jesus, the Internet's been worthless since its inception, apparently.
You don't remember being 14, do you :-)

You know what I love, people who go on about how web journals are shit, and worthless. But then keep one (check out the homepage)
Suppose Yahoo starts hosting blogs.
In three months, it will become popular.
In four months, it will become popular with "adults."
In five months, Yahoo Blogs will become a premiere conduit for erotic content.
In six months, Yahoo Blogs will force the reader to view a full screen ad before reading content
In seven months, Yahoo Blogs will start imposing bandwidth caps.
In eight months, readers of such blogs will be denied access to archives.
I agree. It's much more interesting to read the thoughts of a 19 year old college student with his own domain name (with the name being swiped from MST3K).
Great, now I'm going to have to ignore a few thousand more blogs about how teenagers hate their parents and shut-ins hate society.
It's not stupid. It's advanced.
gosh, windows is bloated you say
why not add some comments to your slashdot journal about which options you removed, I'm sure we'd all be fascinated.

Wow! I use yahoo for a certain amount of anonymity, and am still surprised how they get hold of all the addresses to spam them. :)
Now I'll have the opportunity to provide even more info about my perversi..., er I mean interests, political and otherwise - yeah, that's what I meant
I won't write in my Slashdot Journal because people will just mod it down. (-1, Offtopic)
If I had something intelligent to say, I would have said it.
This is something will soon appear in our history books no doubt.
does anyone else see a problem here?
I block most Korean sites, to much spam.
second thought: may be this is good, put all blogs
in korea and block it.
