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.

    Angela and I were all set to go to the Crew game tonight. The place where she used to work had some extra tickets, we were going to go hang in the VIP patio and just enjoy the game together. Unfortunately, shortly before we were due to leave, we found out that they wound up…

    I know why we don’t have a Zip code input mask. We do have some people from Canada and Europe on our mailing list, and their zip code, obviously, would not work with an input mask. That makes sense. On the other hand, why someone there wants to keep up with state level legislation in…

    I’d have to agree with the PC Doctor on this one: If these companies can’t keep staff from installing software on their PCs then they have a lot more to worry about than this software. Seriously, there have already been tons of tools that allow users to do basically the same thing, making MS pull…

    Three day weekend? Excellent! Ice/Sleet/Snow and bitter cold all weekend leaving you pretty much cooped up in the house? Not so excellent! I have managed to get some things done around the house, do a little blogroll cleaning, played some NHL 2K2, watched both football games yesterday, and just generally relax while Angela’s out of…
