In the last 2 weeks, Japan's ISPs have gone blog-crazy. AOL Japan has announced the release of its diary service, OCN has announced a partnership with Six Apart to release a blog service, JENS released a free blog service, and now Biglobe has joined the gang.
Today's Broadband Watch also has some stuff about the Excite News Blog.
Where will it all lead? Will anyone make any money out of it?
