Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs?

Posted by Hemos on Monday August 25, 2003 @02:15AM 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."

God Bless America, with the highest obesity levels in the developed world
God Bless America, all its appalling "sitcoms" with no grasp of irony

  God Bless America, where crime is at it's lowest level in 30 years.
  God Bless America, where "democracy" means every vote counts in a Presidential election.
  God Bless America, where "freedom of speech" means speech for both the KKK and the Rainbow Coalition.
  God Bless America, where the rich get richer and the "poor" get richer.
  God Bless America, where no one is taxed to support a state-run "news service".
  God Bless America, where corporations are given the freedom to fuel the global economy.
  God Bless America, where freedom is valued so much we are willing to spend our blood and treasurer to free a country repressed by a brutal dictator.

  Man, that's funny that you're so proud of your "free" country and you think the "American Dream" actually exists! Over here in Europe, we feel embarrassed for you that you're American!
  
  At least we have low gun crime, proper healthcare for everyone, a fairer tax system that genuinely helps those less fortune, quality news like BBC rather than your drivel like CNN, etc. And you must feel proud how your corporations are helping to enslave the developing world -- you wear Nike shoes, right?
  
  But then, you've never been abroad and seen anywhere else, isn't that correct? Perhaps you should actually visit some of the places you so obviously look down on. The entire rest of the world has realised that the US is becoming complacent, and whilst you may have a legacy of strength, things may well be different in 10-20 years time. Now that'll be worth seeing.

  Which is pretty irrelevant, because it's still much lower in other civilized countries. And we don't have to give up our civil rights for it. Imagine that!
  
  where "democracy" means every vote counts in a Presidential election
  
  Yup, especially when you decide not to count them.
  
  where the rich get richer and the "poor" get richer.
  
  You should come over to Germany some time and show me some guy roaming the streets with a shopping cart full of crap. You won't find one.
  
  where no one is taxed to support a state-run "news service".
  
  Right. Instead, you'd rather watch a commercial-laden crap channel like fox and actually believe what they tell you. (BTW, did you know that you, as a customer, pay for every commercial with the price of the product? Probably not.)
  
  where corporations are given the freedom to fuel the global economy.
  
  You misspelled "where corporations are given the freedom to fuel their furnace with the bodies of dead workers".
WHY DUBYA WILL PREVAIL by Anonymous Coward · 2003-08-25 02:17 · Score: -1, Offtopic
Dubya will never be held accountable because he makes his primitive followers feel proud. Face it:
- Liberating poor countries from their oil is cool. It makes citizens with a low self-esteem feel like THEY PERSONALLY rule the world.
- Firing a few hundred missiles from a safe distance is very heroic.
- All of the soldiers who killed their own comrades and allies were heroes.
- That blonde chick who failed her mission because she was too dumb to find her way is definitely a hero.
- You don't need to be worth something to be accepted. You just need to wave a flag and shout "God bless America!"
- Every failure can be a hero in Bush's America!
- Seeing Dubya in a flight suit on board a carrier makes republicans shoot their load in seconds!
And as long as all of the above is true, the lies will go on.

Seriously. usually when there's a link on a word like "reports", I expect some sort of report, not just some guy's home-page, with a complete lack of report.

It's not hard to have excellent karma. I earned 18 points in one day once I decided to start posting. All you need is a sense of humor or the ability to make obvious comments (read: insightful), and to post them early enough and high enough in the comments that people will read them and mod them up.

Post quantity != post quality.

The only way you could make a soviet russia joke more annoying would be to write it in a blog.
