MSN Blogs Against it's Customers

Honestly, I couldn't give a crap about MSN. Anyone who blogs there, or reads them, doesn't know the whole story. But now, with Microsoft Watch: MSN Filter appears to be a cross between a traditional Web log, where writers have full editorial control, and a wiki model, embracing user contributions. Adam Sheppard, lead product manager for MSN Filter, said MSN's model " is essentially Nanopublishing as originally championed by Nick Denton at Gawker Media and Weblogs Inc. Both are great blog networks with their own audiences that they'll continue to be successful with." Push-ah. And this is Yeah, the wiki model is paid experts blogging anonymously. You even have to log in with Passport to comment, and everything is Microsoft copyright. Sure, wiki is a buzzword, but give us some respect. How fucked up is the branding of a blog service provider calls their blog micropub a filter and then claims the wiki model when paying people to produce property? Seriously. [via Reader Comments...
