AOL apparently is considering giving its users tools to create their own weblogs -- a move that undoubtedly would mean a big jump in the number of bloggers. ... In a Washington Post column last week wrapping up the year's top tech developments, the final item mentioned that AOL was "expected to launch its own weblogging tools" in 2003. A few weeks earlier, AOL's vice president of community products was quoted ... saying: "Weblogs, over the last several years, have migrated to replace, in some cases, people's home pages. It's natural that the blog and the home page would combine. And when you remember that AOL has the largest collection of home pages in the world, it kinda gets interesting."
Some people shouldn't be given the power to blog.
