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.

    Sometimes my wife beats me to posting about things. And yes, while the whole gnomad site idea is cool, it’s not as customizable as I would like so perhaps Finnegan will be getting a BlogSpot or MSN Spaces site sometime in the near future. Yes, I am nothing but a big kid, and Angela, don’t…

    I never lived in a dorm, but I’ve lived in plenty of apartment buildings with shared laundry facilities and I can definitely see the benefits of this system! It would be better if they could use IM but I understand trying to get everyone on the same IM network complicates that tremendously! 🙂 Follow these…

    Getting a small chance to play catch up while I eat lunch, since Angela went home sick. (The heat in the building has reached a point of making her nauseous, maybe it’s time to send everyone home!) Phil’s got a list of ways to surf blogs at random: NextBlog! gives you a random recently updated…

    I did make it safely. A rather uneventful trip to be honest, but I am here, and have already ran into Jim and Gretchen on their way out to Ohana. I decided to grab a pizza and check in with the office. Looks like I didn’t miss much, that’s always good! Here’s an odd observation…
