Lifesterblog, in its alpha stage, is a new blogging community founded in Hong Kong and targeted to Hong Kong and Asia.

Lifesterblog is much like the established communities popular with Hong Kongers, like Xanga, Friendster, MySpace, Yahoo! HK Blogs, but it’s different in that it offers conveniences when adding your content, like photos and videos. Lifesterblog allows users to upload their videos and photos directly from their already established source, like YouTube and Flickr. Aside from that, you can customize the look and feel of your blog with design and widgets. The customization options are limited at the moment but definitely could see more options added later on as it moves beyond alpha stage.

So, how will it compete with the established blog communities? Getting the people to move or join yet another blog community would be a tough task, but from just the first glance, I find it overall to be much better than Yahoo! HK Blog. They could also look into integrating with aNobii’s service as well.
