Friendster Blog Service

Blogs are appearing EVERYWHERE! Yesterday, Friendster launched their new Friendster Blog Service!

There are 4 account levels you can choose from:

• Friendster Blogs Pro: $14.95/month or $149.50/year
  Expert control over HTML, archive types, and unlimited weblogs. Perfect for advanced users.
• Friendster Blogs Plus: $8.95/month or $89.50/year
  Build photo albums, maintain up to three blogs, customize your design, and use other advanced features.
• Friendster Blogs Basic: $4.95/month or $49.50/year
  Get your ad-free weblog up and running quickly, and take advantage of more storage and bandwidth.
  Friendster Blogs Free (Ad-Supported)

My free plan allows 50 megs of diskspace (this includes photos in album), and .25 gigabytes of bandwidth per month. Not bad for free. :) There are also a few templates to choose from. The blog script they’re using is an integrated TypePad. And my favorite part is how it’s able to pull items from my Amazon Wishlist. I wonder how that is done, using the Amazon API perhaps?

The only thing left for Friendster to do is to build a better community option. :)
