MSN Spaces

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve been a little busy this morning, but not so much that I haven’t seen the buzz generated by the release of MSN Spaces, Microsoft’s new blogging service. I’ve been linking some early reaction to it on the linkblog, and Scoble’s got links to a number of reactions, as well as his own thoughts on it. From what I’ve seen and read, it seems like a pretty decent service for the beginner. It’s integrated with MSN Messenger and Hotmail, you can share pics and a list of your favorite music, you get the basic blog features like comments, you get a full post RSS feed, etc. If you’re a non-techie just looking to start a blog, it’s probably pretty cool, but if you like having your own domain, more than 10MB of storage, the ability to design your own page, or just like to tinker, it’s not going to be enough for you.

    As Dana pointed out, this is an interesting article about Microsoft adding a built-in virus scanner to Windows XP SP2. I’m torn, obviously. On one hand, for all those home users who never seem to be able to use AV properly, maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. Although many still won’t remember to update…

    Comments are broken , email to my domains is broken, etc. Site’s still here, so that’s something at least. I’m sure the host will be working on it and have it working again soon, in the meantime, if you need to reach me think Gmail. (mike.mcbride) Tags: broken Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    It’s been a little while so I had forgotten how much time and effort can go into a job search, especially when you expand it beyond your immediate geographic area. Last night, after working all day, I had dinner and spent a little time with Angela, then sat down to review some of the help…

    I saw the announcement while I was in London, and really, what better way to test out how it works than to simply grab my iPhone and stroll around London, tracking the walkabout as it happened, and then uploading it into one single post. Last night in London walkabout, and checking out the new Instagram…
