Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs?

Posted by Hemos on from the trying-to-make-a-buck dept.

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."

  1. IM Blogs by rf0 · · Score: 4, Funny

    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 :)

  3. Blog... by LordYUK · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've always thought the word "Blog" sounded like something you heaved up...

    "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!!" ::sound of blog hitting ground::

    "BLOG!! BLOG BLOG!!! ugh, I dont feel well..."

    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.

    On the upside; ever since my friends all got blogs, they've stopped sending me chain emails from 1791 that will give me good luck if I forward them to 15 other people within sixty seconds.

    There might be a downside I don't see.

  6. So many 'interesting' people by Willow_mt · · Score: 4, Funny

    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 know what I love, people who go on about how web journals are shit, and worthless. But then keep one (check out the homepage)

  9. Why? by Jeremy+Erwin · · Score: 4, Funny

    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).
