Christian Crumlish points to this article by Jeff Jarvis on AOL’s AolJournal,  their entry into the Blogosphere:

AOL gets blogging

Jeff Jarvis reports on a sneak preview of AOL’s upcoming weblogging entrant, saying “They’ve done a good job.”

He notes something that I just heard elsewhere, that About.com is relaunching itself with every columnist a blogger, using MT on the backend.

Finally, so you have a reason to click through to Jeff’s site (beyond clarifying my oversimplification of a long detailed post), I’ll mention that he and Anil offered AOL a killer “synergy” concept, somewhat similar to the deal Dave Winer brokered with the New York Times to enable webloggers to link to content behind the subscription wall.

The piece about About.com is interesting.  I wonder if theire “religion” guy,  Charles Henderson,  is in on that.  I know him from my Ecunet early days,  when he had started a “First Church of Cyberspace” from a base of an actual FTF Church (in Pennsylvania somewhere,  I think).  I’ll have to look up About.com and check it out.  If I find something about this or examples of it,  I ‘ll certainly be resporting on it here.
