Yahoo's new blog service

Teenagers will probably like it a lot. To be unveiled next week, the new service Yahoo will be providing its some 165 million registered users blends blogging and the "social networking" of sites like Friendster.com, according to Singapore's Asia1.com. Teenagers are already virtually doing this (sharing common interests and introducing friends online) at sites like MySpace, Xanga, and LiveJournal, but Yahoo will emphasize the networking part more. There's no real downside beyond what's currently happening in teen blogging. The good news is that Yahoo bloggers will be able to choose between public and private blogging - they will be able to "restrict access to people invited through email."
