Spaces.Live.Com

I have created an account on live.com and am playing around with their spaces.live.com service. It is an interesting attempt to compete with Google, Gmail, Blogger, etc.

In my optinion the Google services are simpler and more streamlined, but there is promise on the MSFT side. If you get a chance check out my space there, I do not plan to replicate posts on both sides.

Flying Hamster » Blog Archive » EU rejects Spam maker’s trademark bid

This one is kind of funny. Despite what Hormel may think, when I hear of SPAM emails I do think of the original product SPAM, and how most people have a disdain for the product. (Yeah, I know some people like it).

Despite that, they are a number of years too late. IF they had started up on these actions just as the slang usage of the product name started to become somewhat popular they might have had a shot at what they want today... even then it would be a risky bet.
