93 million users can’t be wrong…

and the hits just keep on coming!  We’ve seen incredible growth of the service and today we’re releasing a bunch of cool features.  We’ve received a ton of great feedback from YOU that we’ve tried to incorporate.  I won’t try to list all the changes here since you can read more on the Spaces team blog — http://spaces.msn.com/thespacecraft — but here’s a taste:
 
Don’t like "/members/blah"?  Perfect – you can now drop "/members" from your URL.  http://spaces.msn.com/jay definitely looks better on a business card or in an e-mail signature.  Your old URL will still work so don’t worry if you gave it out.
 
Wish the Custom HTML powertoy could support more characters?  No sweat – we doubled the character limit. 
 
Want to write your blog entries offline with spell-check instead of using our Add Blog Entry page?  Use a 3rd party app like BlogJet to create/edit MSN Spaces blog entries thanks to our support for the MetaWeblog API.
 
Wish you could make some money with your space?  Choose our new Sponsored Links module or create a book list with Amazon affiliate integration so you can get paid when visitors follow your links/recommendations!
 
Love your Xbox 360 and want the world to know it?  Add the Xbox Live GamerCard and Recent Games modules to show off your gamerscore, achievements, and link to your full Xbox Live profile
 
and you’ll have to check out the Spaces team blog for more…
 
The buzz in the hallway right now is intense.  In between powwow-ing with Operations on the actual rollout, folks are hanging out in my office playing an Xbox 360 trying to get their gamerscore up (you know who you are!).  Hope you enjoy all the new features and keep the feedback coming!

    The new  PROFILE, PICTURE, and  BLOG EDIT is so bad,
     
    especially the BLOG EDIT !
     
    There r so many Script limitations! which brings us extreme inconvience! Because there r so many reasonable and crucial function that we can\’t use now. Which cause me less and lack interested/passion in the msn space.
     
    please go and see my space!
    my space used to be very very good and unique and special !
    but now , so many banned (blog) things make my space so bad. (so many links i can\’t use any more)
     
    I really hope that you guys can recover most of the edit/script which was banned  on the space blog this time.
    thanks

    While the shortened URLs and the ability to have ads sounds great — there is a problem.
     
    To generate business to these ads, we obviously need to draw people to our MSN Space. When you shorted the URLs you also changed ALL of your user\’s standings in blog rating services like Technorati.
     
    So while it\’s great to have the ability to generate revenue from our MSN Space — by making the URLs shorter we ALL now need to rebuild our "reputations" to draw peoiple to our MSN Space (and ultimately to your (our) Ads).

    I hope someone consider this petition for MSN Spaces as I\’m quite worried.
     
    I BEG an option to increase control over comment posting. What I\’m asking
    for is an extra option so we can choose between:
    – Everyone logged can post a comment
    – Only users logged and using their profile info can post
    – Comments Off
     
    I ask this because I keep recieveing threats on my space from people who
    comment using random nicks. I\’ve tried reporting those action to MSN Abuse but
    the only advice I get is to turn off comments. But this solution is unfair since
    I don\’t want to stop nice people to comment in my space because 1 or 2
    idiots.
     
    Is that difficult to add that option so when someone comment an entry the
    user know who is posting it? I believe it\’s a feature that could increase
    security in spaces and avoid spamming.
     
    Also something like "ban this passports accounts" so they can\’t post again
    would be REALLY useful for thousands of people out there

  5. The CEO Of Comments says:

    Hi there, this is the president from the 1 billion comments
    project asking you to become a free sponsor.

    A sponsor is a space that places a link from their space to
    the 1 billion comments project space. Then the 1 billion comments project will
    add you to the ever growing sponsors list for all to see. It means recognition
    for your space and mine. So it’s a win win situation. Don’t forget it’s free so
    why not. Help the cause.

    AND MINE AND HOW TO BECOME A SPONSOR

    Quick question.  Is it possible to have multiple Slide shows up at once?  Say, one on the left and one on the right instead of having to drop down/select a different slide show?

  7. Peter says:

    Good intro, and we are working on the pains the customer named here. Thanks for putting the user feedback first.

  8. James says:

    Hi Jay,
     
    I have a little pet peeve here: MSN Messenger being loaded to computer startup entries in the registry when you load your page.  Can we stop that? Thanks

I don\’t really know why the MSN SPACES pages of each Blogger seems to be pulling up SLOW, likeas in "SLOW DIAL UP" you know the commerial.. lol.. but it\’s not a laughing matter to me anymore.. help… and no it\’s not my computer(s).. it within something I can not indentify.. HELP.. feedback is accepriecated.. I don\’t bite man… some people might.. but I don\’t!
