LastMinute and its blogs

Loic le Meur just mentioned that LastMinute.com has launched its TypePad driven blog product, rather grandly entitled Lastminuteliving.com: the blogging community
“Soon to be available in five languages,” says Loic.
Let’s hope the other four have something more inspiring than the current UK offering.

OK, cheap shot. I didn’t mean it. Welcome to the blogosphere.
Shame though, LastMinute feels the need to talk to us all as though they were trying to lure yoofs away from MySpace.
Here for example they exhort us to share the glories of our photographic collections :

all your snaps can be on your blog so all your firends (sic) can see what you have
been up to. Are you sure you wanna do that?

 I dunno. Do I wanna? I dunno. Do you wanna?

 I just flicked through a handful of member blogs (that’s a thought: do we have a collective noun for blogs?).
 One which caught my eye was called Lastminute Critic.
 It begins with a cryptic post:

I can’t help but wonder if Lastminute actually understands blogs, and if they
will try to delete this one. We’ll see

 Yes, we will.
 But first we will also see if you manage more than one post.
