CNET along with just about everybody else is reporting that Yahoo Japan has launched a beta blogging tool. The site, located at blogs.yahoo.co.jp is an interesting step for the Yahoo.

The launch could have implications for Yahoo users in the United States, too.

You think so?

With the kind of scrutiny they've given to blogging and RSS and news readers, it seems like the next step for Yahoo U.S. is to launch a blog service

I would hope that the new tool would integrate with some of the high-end DotCoMo cell phones the kids just love.
