AOL launches blogging service

America Online on Monday officially launched their new feature called AOL Journals in an effort to piggyback on the grassroots popularity of Web logs, or "blogs", reports Business Week. The new feature is offered as part of its proprietary online service, but users will be able to update their blogs through the AOL Web site, AOL Instant Messenger and their cell phones.

According to an insider, AOL Journals already has about 7,000 users and has jumped up into the top 200 on AOL searches according to Suzan Mernit's Blog via Dave Winer's weblog.
