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."
