Yesterday, Microsoft announced they had completed the acuisition of Messagecast into MSN. Messagecast is a pretty cool company that basically transcodes RSS into MSN Messenger Alerts, something I'm a big fan of since we also did this same thing back at Spyonit in '99.
What this says to me, and it's not out of line with what MSN says, is that MSN Spaces is much more worried about keeping up with features of the likes of AOL Journals, which offers some really cool features of notifiying you via AIM or AOL IM if someone comments on your posts, or one of your friends has added new posts, than they are worried about the likes of Six Apart or even Blogger for that matter.
