AOL Teen Blogging Service

AOL is simply a dying company. All the good technology folks have left and applied for geek leaders like Google. The company just released a teen blogging service that lets parents select the level of privacy for their kids. It's obvious this will not work as everyone I know uses Xanga in that demographic. Good luck AOL, actually forget it. It's luck wasted.

Red Blogs, which AOL unveiled Tuesday, allows teenagers and parents to select the level of privacy they want for their online diaries; a private blog can be kept locked. A semiprivate blog is locked to all but those who are invited to read it. And a public blog allows access to anybody on the Net.
