AOL to offer blogging

The Washington Post reports that: "AOL this month began showing demos of its tools for creating Web logs, or blogs, to veteran bloggers. AOL has dubbed its service 'AOL Journals' because its surveys showed that members found the word 'blogs' confusing, said Rick Robinson, AOL's vice president for community products."

Note: the article mentions that AOL has 34 million members, which is true. However, each account can have up to five "screen names" and the same account is typically used by different members of the same family using different screen names. So 34m members is not 34m users. I'd guess it is at least 50m, and it could be 100m.
