| The updates include a beta version of MSN Spaces, a new Web logging (blogging) service that enables consumers to create their own personal place on the Web, as well as a beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0, updates to MSN Hotmail and deeper integration between the services to enable more compelling communications experiences for consumers. |
| Commenting on the launch of the new features Krishna Prasad, head of programming at MSN India said, "MSN Spaces will enable our users to communicate and express themselves in a unique way. |
| With Spaces, users will be able to share music, photographs and post notes on their personal blog, communicating seamlessly and conveniently at all times. |
| "These improvements are in line with MSN's vision of providing an unparalleled customer experience and helping people around the world connect to the Internet in different ways," added Krishna Prasad. |
| MSN Hotmail has been updated with a photo upload tool for all consumers to make it easier for them to share pictures online. |
| The beta versions of MSN Spaces and MSN Messenger and Hotmail help give consumers even more ways to communicate and share through MSN Hotmail, including these viewing online status anywhere. |
| Through integration between MSN Hotmail and MSN Web Messenger, in select markets, consumers are able to see Messenger availability status even on PCs that don't have MSN Messenger client software. |
| In addition to this, MSN Hotmail consumers who have an MSN Spaces site will have a Contact Card visible in the Hotmail address book, providing friends, family and other online contacts with one-click access to their Spaces site. |
