• Microsoft has reportedly just rolled-out Windows Live Spaces, the next generation of its popular blogging service, MSNR Spaces. The new service includes social networking features that are designed to help users discover and connect with friends through trusted contacts. Users can also personalize their Windows Live Spaces.
Do we really need another blogging service? Seems everyone has already got a blog somewhere What are your thoughts? Will you start another blog or move th Windows Live Spaces??
