Microsoft Launches Blogging Site

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday December 2, 2004 @01:50AM from the bandwagon-jumping dept.

Jeff Clark writes "In yet another attempt to take over all of the Internet, MSN has launched a blog service called MSN Spaces with the new version of MSN Messenger due out shortly. Features include comments, stats and trackbacks just like every other blog out there. Another built-in feature is also available where you can send pictures from your camera-phone directly to your Space. Now you can let Mom know just exactly what happened at that party last night!" Reader JDBaker adds, "Microsoft have released the first public beta of MSN Messenger 7. It can be downloaded direct from Microsoft, and carries the same build number as the recent private beta release. New features include: Winks, Set Status Before Login, Drag and Drop Backgrounds and Feedback."

I'm surprised Google didn't beat them to the punch on this one... Who will take over the Internet first? Microsoft or Google?

I prefer spending $50 a year on a Custom DNS and my own private domain than putting my stuff on anyone elses server.
You know, that is a GREAT idea! I bet no one else on Slashdot has ever thought of this!
