Facebook fix their biggest omission yet: lack of blogs
Today, Facebook have introduced blogs to their system. Before, users had no way of making any kind of blog or online diary entries on their profiles, which I have always felt made the site rather dull to browse.
Now however Facebook has brought in "Notes", which is essentially a blogging system. But the really neat aspect is the ability to import blogs from other services. So instead of creating and maintaining a seperate blog on Facebook, I can feed my existing Blogger blog straight in. This is a great "best of both worlds" play: users without blogs can start adding notes to their profiles, and those who already have blogs on external servicse can pipe their posts straight into the pages.
