Microsoft Corp, the world's largest software maker, said on Wednesday it is launching a Web log service in Japan on a trial basis, and aims to have one million users in the first year. Web logs, or Blogs, have been around for several years, serving as online journals for Web-savvy disseminators of information ranging from personal ramblings and product reviews to social commentary.
In May, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said Web logs and the way they are distributed can be used as business communication tools, signaling Microsoft's growing awareness of blogging as a potential threat and a new business opportunity.
Microsoft competitor Google Inc has also embraced blogging as a way to deliver more information to Web users.
