MSN Filter – where do you stand?

Where do you stand on the MSN Filter debate? Pro or con? Here are some thoughts on what people think of MSN Filter. For those who don’t know, MSN Filter is a new network of blogs MSN has released…

I am still rather confused by the MSN move (http://www.mneylon.com/blog/archives/2005/08/05/microsoft-enters-the-blogosphere/)

If it is “reader driven” why not aggregate readers blogs?

I like how there’s no link back to the Filters page once you click on a topic. I really like how MSN Spaces ripped off the Ubuntu Linux logo.

Since these blogs iIve been launched, I must admit that I still don’t exactly know what to think of them. While the initiative in itself could be interesting and open more of the internet public to the conceot of blog, I’m also afraid that such content would give this same public the wrong idea. I don’t know… it’s impersonal (those who write in, well, we don’t even know their nicknames!), and it doesn’t seem like much research/detail is brought to this (from what I’ve read of the filter blogs so far, which isn’t *all* of them, of course).

It feels like a new sea to drown into, brought by the decision to surf the “hey, looks like it’s gonna be successful, let’s do it too on our own, vast scale and overwhelm ‘em all” wave.

Looks like we’ve got company.

All the more reasons your blogs need ” original ” content and not just snippets of someone else’s info.

Learn your “opinion” now, because MSN will be able to do what a lot of ” bloggers ” do now, which is regurgitate.

And with their resources, you can’t possibly keep up with their speed in ” snippetizing ” your niche.

One more reason you need to set yourself up as the expert in your niche, with original, thought provoking, expert, educational comments.

If you’re not able to do this, you’re not long for this world. Or you’ll just be talking to yourself.

Isn’t this just one more attempt for the Rupert Murdoch’s in the world to grabs the reins of even more world media? Local television stations, local newspapers, and now.. blogs and podcasting?

I can’t see this as being anything other than a move to push other MSN services that are available (Search, hotmail etc) – You need a passport login to be able to post comments etc.

I’d love to believe that its being done for the good of the blogging community as a whole, but a depersonalised summary of whats going on on the web isn’t going to cut it, especially with the nature of blogs being what they are (generally an independent voice for the masses, not a corporate soapbox),

I’ll keep an eye on it, but I’m yet to be convinced.

New Feed Suggestion – MSN Filter

MSN have a launched a new service MSN Filter
which is basically a collection of blogs run by MSN that link to the
the latest music, sports, TV and tech news found by their team of
bloggers. Sounds suspiciously like Weblogs but still probably

I can see the hope of Jason that Microsoft may make the pages highly visible to Windows users, but I’m surely not going to sell out to Microsoft in order to get my work published!

I’d rather take my chances elsewhere.
