New blogging tool...

It was only a matter of time. Microsoft has gotten into the blogging business at spaces.msn.com.

It is pretty cool that they offer such easy use of pictures. It is overly complicated here at Blogger, where you either have to pay for FTP services, or you have to use that weird "Hello" tool that is not work-safe.

Hopefully the competitive pressure will motivate Blogger to make that easier.

I actually keep waiting for Yahoo! to deliver a blogging tool.

Isn't Blogger affiliated with Google? I'm surprised it isn't more user friendly than it is regarding pictures. I have the new Gmail and it is the coolest...really enjoy it.

Yahoo will probably react, these Internet companies move in herds. :-)

Blogger is owned by Google. But so is that Picasa Hello tool, and I think they were trying to use Blogger to push it. I agree, A, Gmail rocks. I am an email packrat, I don't like to delete anything. Being able to keep and search my mail the same way I search for some obscure bit of code on Google is... well I don't imagine I will ever use Microsoft Outcrook at home again!
