And I Thought Google Buying Pyra Was Big
Posted at 3:21 PM
Seeing it on Slashdot makes it official, AOL is launching its own blogging service. Available this summer, “AOL Journals” (a less geeky term than “blogs,” I guess) will support RSS and publishing via instant messaging (AIM only) and telephone. They’re also doing some kind of photo publishing integration via “You’ve Got Pictures.”
Of course, this is old news, or at least an old rumor, ever since TypePad was announced. But it looks certain that Google isn’t the only 800-pound gorilla in the blogosphere.
