Friendster blogs (powered by Typepad)

I have no idea when Friendster launched Friendster blogs because i've been pretty far out of the loop, but Charlie noted them this morning. They are powered by Typepad and there's a free option available (with ads of course). They're all branded with Friendster's logo at the top and have the Friendster domain. To update your Friendster blog, you have to log in. Plus, all Friendster blogs have easy links to your Profile.

Check out my new Friendster blog.

The funny thing is that they have loads of friend/friendof data and don't appear to be using it at all. It seems like a natural extension of a friendsterblog or photo album would be to use that information to customize privacy of entries. Allowing only N-degree contacts to see certain entries would make a lot of sense, but instead they only allow password and username protection for paid users.

I can't tell how this works, mostly because the description is written pretty clumsily:

Control who sees your blog by password protecting all, or specific portions of your blog. Upgrade today to a paid Friendster Blogs account. Not ready to share your blog with the world or have a few special people you want to write to? If you upgrade to a paid Friendster Blogs account, you can password protecting your entire site, or individual blogs or photo albums. You can create unique username and password combinations for different areas of your site, and those with your friends and family

The N-degree friend filter might even be an improvement on LiveJournal's security settings.

In other news, Geocities reminded the Internet, "Even we are more culturally relevant than Friendster."

On the flip side, Friendster also allows you to syndicate your blog (or presumably any site that has an RSS feed) to your profile. I noticed this a couple weeks ago and enabled it.
