Microsoft Clears Space for Bloggers

“While the service is a nice idea, it’s unlikely to shake anything up. “Very few people are engaged in writing Web logs,” said Michael Gartenberg of Jupiter Media. “You have to wonder how much this is going to bring to the table in the end. More serious bloggers are probably going to use tools that are more sophisticated.”

I am happy to see more competition. It is good for us as it forces the players to improve the tools we have for blogging.
