The world’s largest blogging service just received a major upgrade and we’ve posted a brief interview on 10.  I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d use spaces and although I can’t imagine moving this blog there (yet) it really looks like a service I’d recommend to my mom or friends.

Easy to use…
The integration with live gadgets is very hot…  
I also like the permissions features…

Controlling my friends lists, giving access to only people who are on my messenger contacts.  (If I get another Friendster or Linked In request I think I will lose my mind). 

Congratulations to the Spaces team!

I can only imagine the amount of work and planning required to go into an update like this.  Charles is going to do a deep dive on the archicture for Channel 9, very soon.

Thanks Mike for being on 10.

P.S. With any large deployment like this expect some wonkiness for the next few hours.
