MSN Makes Space For Blogs

After weeks of tweaking its Messenger and Hotmail services, MSN has now started a new service that enables blogging and picture sharing.

The MSN network of Internet services introduced updates to its free communication services to make e-mail, instant messaging and online sharing easier and more personal for consumers.

The updates include a beta version of MSN Spaces, a new Web logging service that enables consumers to create their own personal place on the Web, as well as a beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0 and updates to MSN Hotmail.

"Communicating with others is the No.1 thing people do online," said Blake Irving, corporate vice president for the MSN Communication Services and Member Platform Group. "The investments MSN is making in MSN Spaces, MSN Messenger and MSN Hotmail are designed to break down some of the barriers between the services so people can focus less on the technology and more on the people they care about," he added.

The Spaces blog beta version is free and available in 14 languages and 26 countries. MSN says the blog could be used as a dynamic online scrapbook where consumers can share photos and personal music lists. It will automatically notify online contacts when a person's Space or community has been updated. One's blog could also be updated remotely via e-mail or mobile.

People can sign up for MSN Spaces through MSN Messenger or at the MSN Spaces site.
