MSN Spaces…the other Google killer????
Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Blogging; Microsoft .
The blogosphere (the English speaking one at least) has been pretty quiet about the Microsoft hosted blogging solution available in Japan called MSN Spaces since Robert Scoble pointed it out to the blogging community in early August.
Will the quiet continue??? I get the impression that with the beta release of MSN Messenger 7 coming up soon, the launch of Hotmail Wave 10 on the 17th of November, the sneak peak at the MSN Toolbar Suite and the odd Wallop account being handed out (yes…i have one thanx to Robert Scoble), we should be hearing some official news about MSN Spaces sooner rather than later. The term “Spaces” is also starting to appear in the MSN support pages on various sites around the world…check out this cached copy from the MSN Search beta
Well…to prepare for it, i had a bit of a play with MSN Spaces and have set up a site called “SplaTT’s Space“. It would have been so much easier if it was in English or if i could read japanese though ;)
Check out the Google and MSN Search results to see just how little this service has been spoken about. One of the interesting thing that comes out of some of the sites you visit is that most of them are saying that you will be post a blog post from with MSN Messenger 7….hmm….

Yeah, there are many many exciting things coming out of Microsoft with the MSN branding. (MSN Desktop Search, MSN Search, MSN Spaces, etc…). Not to mention the recent movement of people such as Dare Obasanjo over to MSN. Maybe there will be a “friends” social network type thing linked in with the MSN brand sooner or later? (Eg: MSNWallop or something?).
