Why isn't MSN Spaces good enough for me? Well, first of all, I'm going to try to forget for a moment that I'm an employee of Microsoft. Putting my user hat on... OK, here's why. Basically it comes down to that there's a lot of limitations that would really bug me. Here's a partial list: 1) I can't totally redesign my MSN Space (I don't have access to the HTML/CSS that makes up the templates). 2) I can't get my own domain (like www.scobleizer.com). 3) I can't put Google Adsense ads on my blog (and I can't move or remove MSN's ads from my blog and I can't figure out any way to get revenue sharing from MSN). 4) I can't get more than 10MB of space. (Only photos count against that limit, but I have 8,400 photos on my hard drive, so can probably fill up the limit pretty quickly). 5) There's no developer story (no API you can use to build stuff). I'd like to see developers, like Laszlo, build things like their BlogBlox for MSN Spaces, but that isn't possible. 6) There's no service integration story (no Feedster, Pubsub, Technorati, Del.icio.us, Memeorandum links, etc).
