MS blogging tool?

Rayne Today

Have you been curious as to what a Microsoft blogging tool might look like? You can check one out at the theSpoke. Go ahead, register and get a free blog, kick the tires on this puppy.

So far this tool and its ring appear to be dedicated to gamers, although there are categories which are broad enough to cover most bloggers' content.

What are you waiting for? Take it for a test drive and come back here pronto to share your opinion. I've already got one, but I'll wait to hear from you first!

I must admit I am not curious. I tried to use this site last night and every single link off the front page was a server error.

I was not impressed with the site overall. The actual blog user interface was , shall we say, interesting.

Blogging my dog ears: All my life, I've turned down the page at the corner of the book I'm reading whenever a passage of writing strikes me in some particular way: as writing itself, or because it confirms or disputes some ongoing argument I'm having with myself. The gesture is vestigial, the first step in... (Weblog Concepts)
Another dirty blog: What do you call a garden blog written by two people, discussing their plans, decision, thoughts, reflections, illustrated with digital images of the two gardens or the plants in them, with links to other gardening resources and the few (very few) other easily-findable examples of literate garden writing online? Briggs and... (Weblog Concepts)
