So, looks like I am again reviewing some of the services I use against others I could be.

I have actually been contemplating leaving Live Spaces for a while. Sadly, I don’t think Spaces have moved enough in the right direction. I think I have remained is due to the excellent production on the rest of the Live Services teams (Writer, SkyDrive, Mesh etc.). However, none of these require this blog.

Put simply, I dislike the following:

• Ad banners.
• Anonymous comments are not allowed.
• Email notifications of comments etc are not available.
• Unable to choose an address I want for the blog.
• Lack of support for custom scripts.
• Tagging/Categorisation is extremely limited.
• Only 1 space/blog per account.

And I do like:

• The look, I think its nice and clean.
• Works superbly with Live Writer.

So, watch this space, I may be migrating, need to run a few more tests to see what Blogger can do for me, but so far looking positive.
