Microsoft Blogging Site Is Coming

Microsoft Watch's Mary Jo Foley says that Microsoft Spaces, its answer to Blogger, Typepad and the like, will be released this week. Speculation is the forthcoming MSN Messenger 7 will allow posting. MSN Spaces has been in beta in Japan since August. MSN Blogbot, a (much needed) blog search engine, is expected soon as well. Microsoft is known for being late to the game, but delivering more features than its competitors, so this should prove interesting. I don't plan on switching, but if Spaces has features Blogger needs, Messenger has features Hello needs, and Blogbot searches blogs as Google wishes it could, there may be a lot of complaints.
