Thoughts.com is a popular social networking site. You can create your own online journal or blog online for free, with unlimited bandwith on the thoughts.com extension. Your URL to your free blog will look like this: http://www.thoughts.com/username/blog/ Unlike other popular free blog hosts, where you have to learn about search engine optimization and other methods of promotion, your blog is already integrated into the community. Right after you post it gets published on the entire site. This also helps with getting your site indexed in the search engines. This means you get a running start for traffic to your blog, without knowing anything about traffic or promotion.

You can customize the color background, see how many people view each post, allow ratings by visitors on individual posts posts, add tags, picture profiles of thought.com users who bookmarked your site, and a feed. You can also make individual posts private or only available to friends and family if you want. The way it is setup seems to be more user friendly than blogspot.com. In addition you can upload videos, photos, podcasts, surveys, into their own sections and link to them from your blog.
