Microsoft's MSN Spaces, a free blogging tool for consumers, may have been criticized as being too fun and friendly by the geeky losers that started the blog craze. But don't mistake easy with simplistic: MSN Spaces has struck a chord with those who'd like to self publish on the Web, and now it's one of the most popular blogging services on earth. When MSN Spaces launched in April, Microsoft reported that 4.5 million users had created a blog, and 170,000 of those blogs were being updated daily. Now, Microsoft reports that there are over 15 million MSN Spaces blogs, and over 500,000 of them are being are updated every day.
