Microsoft is looking to migrate their blogging service Spaces to Windows Live. It’s part of an ongoing effort by them to integrate some of their services into Live, which would allow them to leverage loyalty with a consistent user interface. Live has been a bit of a dud, lately, and they need to compete with MySpace:
The most notable of the new features is a “Friends Module,” which Microsoft had in limited testing for the past several months. The addition would allow a user to create a list of friends similar to Friendster or MySpace, making Spaces more competitive with social networking services.
You can imagine the folks in Redmond are getting a bit concerned with how big MySpace has grown in such a short amount of time. They’re different portal properties are strewn across multiple domains and aren’t all branded similarly.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing more announcements aimed at the MySpace vertical in the coming months as people realize the huge potential of the market.
