When Robert Scoble says so, apparently. He takes issue with the claim that Windows Live Spaces is now the most widely used blogging service. The whole heated and ultimately pointless discussion reminds me of medieval philosophers discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, and has the same relevance to reality, i.e. none whatsoever.
I really couldn’t care less if Windows Live Spaces does not have sufficient of what Robert considers to be a blog to make it number 1, or even number 100, for that matter. It offers me a free tool to use for my ramblings, and one that’s good enough for me. And the same technology platform is used by millions of others to use as they see fit, whether that is an online diary, a photosharing site, social networking, or a combination of all these things.
I think Robert is also forgetting Sturgeon’s Revelation – it should hardly come as a surprise that large numbers of the millions of Windows Live Spaces are crap or not populated with any entries at all. That’s human nature.
