Luckley I don’t use stright blogging servers like Mirosoft or Blogger due to the fact that i wanted to hold on to control of my onw work. Therefore my site my blog is all my own work. Basic yes – but it does the job. I love it

20six is the only blogging way to go, community is fantastic. I think this is one area that microsoft will fail to dominate. (Until they buy outright all the other blogging sites of course…)

Microsoft gets the blogging bug – is it me or is Microsoft always behind every body else by about five years? Nice to see though tha blogging is catching up with our MP’s go Tom Watson Go Boris.

Ouch … Must investigate why URLs to articles are censored by Boris (smile)

Microsoft’s new blogging tool, censors certain words you might try to include in a blog title or url. If you can’t speak freely on a blog, what’s the point of having one?

“Too little too late, Microsoft.”

As with most things Microsoft do (browsers, proper search databases).

On the subject of too little too late, we are fast approaching the time when a whole bunch of MPs will ‘discover’ blogging just in time to run a one-way campaign tool for the general election. And they are assured of a lukewarm welcome.

Microsoft blogging? Will this reformat and re-word what you write like many of their other products?
And ads? This is badly thought out. Go Google!

Sadly, people will use it because no doubt it’ll be tied into MSN Messenger in the not too distant future, and of course the next version of Windows, too.

Anyway, I have my own site to blog on.
