Microsoft flexing muscles

They're gonna lose. Very weird and out of touch with
blogspace along with their politically correct
ineptness. It won't be a place I will likely visit.
Too many nicely painted white picket fences.

Aack!

Earlier today, I posted comments from a
BoingBoing reader about the fact that MSN Spaces,
Microsoft's new blogging tool, censors certain
words you might try to include in a blog title or
url. If you can't speak freely on a blog, what's
the point of having one? This demanded a full
investigation.

...

The conclusion? A mixed bag of results that
manages to do what most attempts to automate
censorship do -- make fools of the censors.

Full story.
