Microsoft has rolled out an update of its Spaces blogging service with additional features such as live connection with other services to offer a different type of social networking. Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces is a an attempt to compete with social networking platforms like MySpace.
"Windows Live and Internet-based ad-funded software and service are critical to driving growth for the company, and we are energized about the continued investments we’re making to help provide consumers with a seamless and safer online experience," said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of the Online Services Group at Microsoft.
Microsoft said that Windows Live Spaces works in sync with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Contact List, Windows Live Mail and other services.
To avoid criticism plaguing MySpace Microsoft said that for those under age 18, the default setting in their Windows Live Spaces profile is that only people in the user’s Windows Live Messenger contact list can gain access to his or her space.
Microsoft will also integrate enhanced safety features into Windows Live Toolbar, which was launched in a total of 38 markets this week.
