SixApart, after introducing Friendster blogs, now introduces MLBlogs, a tool for blogging about MLB… I’m not really sure what improvement MLBlogs will have over regular Typepad Sox blogs, judging from the page.

Six Apart has partnered with Major League Baseball to create MLBlogs.com, a new service that lets baseball aficionados use TypePad to blog about their favorite team with branded templates. Also, MLB has contracted some big names in baseball to start…

Wow — Om Malik reports that Six Apart has partnered with Major League Baseball to launch MLBlogs.com: “MLBLogs, a service of MLB.com, is the only blog service that offers the official colors and logos of every current MLB team.”…

Here’s an update to my post from yesterday. Major League Baseball is now empowering consumers to launch their own Six Apart-powered blogs. The MLBlogs site is live. Users can sign up for $49.95 per year. Tommy Lasorda’s even blogging. The

It looks more like baseball’s latest revenue stream — charge fans five bucks a month for the ”opportunity” to blog about their favorite team! What a pity. If I wanted to blog about my favorite team, I certainly wouldn’t pay MLB for the tablet. And I doubt I’ll bother reading any of these fans’ ravings. Blogs are about intelligent opinion and insight, and I can get that from SportsBlogs Nation (sbnation.com). Unfortunately, none of the SportsBlogs Nation guys appear to have media credentials; they’re mostly blogging from a fan’s point of view. MLB should have just told its beat writers at mlb.com to trash the newspaper style writing and posting they do and start blogging. And they should have used scoop so fans could attach their own ”diaries” to these blogs.

Om Malik guessed right… We just launched http://www.mlblogs.com today… it’s a partnership with SixApart (the MovableType people). Should be fun!

Not sure why I’m on a baseball tangent today. It’s not like my team (the Pittsburgh Pirates) is doing very well this year. I just read an intriguing post though at Om Malik’s site theorizing that Six Apart and Major League Baseball have a baseball b…

it would allow for an interesting conversation and outlook on baseball if there were two players and two fans posting on the same blog. just a thought.

glad they chose 6A though, at least they’ll be sure that whatever they do will be handled professionally.

(TypePad has a 30-day free trial.) Blogger may not provide all the features that MT and TP provide but Blogger is free and is easy to use…and even allows publishing blogs to your own domain. The less said the better about the feature set and ease of use of Yahoo’s 360 and Microsoft’s Spaces.
