RCN announced that it has launched RCN Journal on its portal as a free service to existing and prospective customers. The new service combines personal Web page publishing, essential blogging features and an online video subscription service in one interface.

"RCN is leading the way by providing their customers with a clearly differentiated broadband enabled solution," said Ted Briscoe, CEO of Vibe Solutions Group. "With RCN Journal, users can create their own personal Web presence in seconds, absolutely free. They can also aggregate and personalize thousands of online video titles into their own channel viewing experience."

Journal is part personal Web page and part video content aggregator. It allows consumers the ability to publish photos, video, audio or text with drag-and-drop technology. Journal combines this publishing experience with a video content aggregator, called My Channels, allowing consumers to watch, share, personalize and publish their own video channels, ranging from professional to user-submitted content.
