As expected, MSN launches their own blog service name MSN Spaces. Following the leader is a good way to categorize Microsoft's behavior with the search engine, search blog, browser, and now a blog service. Will they become the leader that others follow or just the leader that us, helpless customers shell money to. Anyway, Danny Sullivan has an interesting blog posting on this subject, which was then followed up by, the much respected, Gary Price. Nick has a threadwatch entry on the topic, linking to his test msn blog where he posts three test entries and several comment tests. In addition, there is a thread discussing this topic at Search Engine Watch Forums.
