Review: MSN's New Blogspace, etc.

Tried out spaces.msn.com last night. Thought it is great for very simple form of internal corporate blogging, given aceess control already exists in MSN passport (authentication and authorization) infrastructure. NGOs with absolutely no budget and IT resources but need a blog with some form of a robust security take note.

It'd be even better if access control is available at the individual blog entry level.

I wouldn't make serious use of it except for demo. purpose. I don't need MS to know too much about me. Besides, I am happy with what I have right now: very customizable template and I have the flexibility to add whatever new functionalities provided by other web-services.

I am still looking for a blog client that allows me to publish a post via Blogger API and to del.icio.us. at the sametime. Something similar to WeTaste would be quite ideal - if it would also allow users to post to blogger or their own webserver that is. WeTaste's WYSIWYG editor is a huge time-saver for posts that repost information from elsewhere on the internet, especially if the information is a piece of graphic. There is no need to type in html tags or the image's URL location. Just simply highlight, copy and paste as in other word processor would do.
