Tomorrow apparently is the debut date for MSN Spaces, Microsoft’s new blogging service. [News Link]

Ain’t competition a wonderment? I’ve been on Blogger since March 03, around the time the war started. Before that, I was on Blog City for a short time. I don’t have a problem with Blogger, though there are times when their servers bog down and I want to scream. I’m interested to see what Gates’ Geeks have concocted. But I’m not in a mood to make a change. I’m well rooted here, and setting up new digs is such a pain.

Believe it or not, I had an idea for the general format of blogging before I found out that blogging existed, or saw my first blog. I wanted to have a page on my Web site, maybe an easily- updated html file, for musings on Life, the Universe, and Everything. It should, I thought, be like a journal but upside down, with the latest entry on top. It was a major hassle to set up something that was easy to upload, and could be done in Word not WYSIWYG. Then I saw Pete’s blog and boom: I got my blog, and with it another way to kill an evening without getting drunk or … hmm, this is a family blog … getting horizontal.

Spaces will probably suck, and give you no storage, like Hotmail. Wanna bet?
