Microsoft Will Try Out Blog Service In Japan

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-there-any-more-annoying-word-than-blog dept.

theodp writes "Signaling its growing awareness of blogging as both a potential threat and a new business opportunity, Microsoft is turning to Japan to launch its first blog service and aims to have 1 million users in the first year. Not surprisingly, Microsoft's offering targets mobile bloggers, since nearly 90 percent of Japan's cell phones have Internet capability."

    Do us all a favor: stop recruiting and seek medical attention (Okay, that's two favors ... but after Nathan Lane, you gay guys owe one to society.)

    What does taking a dick in the asshole and eating shit have to do with being a "geek"?
    Why do you want to segregate yourselves? If being a fucking faggot is so "normal", as you queers tell everyone, shouldn't it be such a small part of who you are such that you don't need a special group for fags?

    I mean, the faggots always tell people that eating shit and engaging in sodomy are just part of who they are - like hair color - why would you have a special group for that?

    Fuck you.
