Frienster Blogs
Filed in: Weblog — March 5th, 2005
The company that earned some notoriety for firing a blogger is now bringing bloggers into the fold–and hoping to collect fees in the process.
Friendster, a so-called social networking site of linked personal profiles, launched a beta, or test version, of Friendster Blogs, a section of the site that lets people post and archive the daily musings known as blogs.
“Start sharing your thoughts, opinions, stories, favorite music, movies, books and anything else you want others to know about you, your life, your interests and your friends!” reads an advertisement posted to Friendster home pages.
Friendster entered the media spotlight for firing an employee who kept a blog that included what she termed “publicly available” information about the company.
