Tee Emm writes "Sven Latham reports on his Yet Another Blog that Yahoo is (probably) experimenting with its blog services for its general users. The test bench is in Korea and may be followed by an international service on yahoo.com. On the main Yahoo site, blogs.yahoo.com as well as blog.yahoo.com both are active though they take you to yahoo groups interface."

The arrival of Yahoo! blogs in Korea was noted in the blogging world last week.  It is, of course, a logical step for Yahoo! to offer blogs, since it offers everything else.  With Google and AOL venturing into blog space Yahoo! and MSN can't be far behind.  But, will we see blog or blog-like offerings from the likes of E-Bay or Amazon?  Wouldn't surprize me.
