Nearly 5,000 sign up for Telegraph blogs

The Telegraph's readers blogs seem to have been a success so far - just eight weeks after the launch of MyTelegraph, over 4,500 have started up their own blogs on the site.

MyTelegraph

MyTelegraph offers users the chance to create and personlise their own blogs, and so far bloggers on the site have written thousands of posts, with a total of 50,000 comments left on the site.

Shane Richmond, the Telegraph's Communities Editor, believes that, though sign ups have slowed since the first few days, he expects that changes to the registration process will make it easier for people to sign for blogs and leave comments.

In addition to the personalised blogs, the Telegraph also recently launched MyNews, an RSS reader.

1. I have been researching online local community news and portal in the past 18 months and working on a development project that has proven to me that though news is one of the most important reasons people go online still I believe a more important reason is interaction with communities related to local or news media. People in this generation want to be heard and seen and promote themselves. The articles said that "While other newspapers have blogs, or allow users to comment, MyTelegraph allows users to create their own blogs" and I think that will be the key to success with online news and community portals. People dont want to read the news passively they want to interact with the news...Digg.com proved that ....more importantly I think we will see they want to be the news.

And the everyday unskilled (I have 14 years in Internet Marketing and Advertising and still consider myself to be learning every day)
person will have public relations systems far beyond what we even imagined
10 years ago to promote themselves in these social environments.
2. Now imagine if the Daily Mail did the same thing? The number of anti-asylum seekers blogs would be enormous!
3. very good!
