Says its spun out of microsoft so i guess its not theirs anymore!

From what I've read its technically a separate company but is owned by Microsoft.

Yes, its a MicroSoft owned company. It will be interesting to see how Wallop plays out with MySpace. Oh that Gates never quits!

I would be careful not to have anything to do with Microsoft, because they are quite active in their legal department. I have already received C&Ds for 2 Vista domain names.

it's not a very good name

I read another article that says MS is an investor in wallop. However its a seperate company no longer related to MS.

I heard about this on CNN today. Unfortunately for Microsoft, I don't think money can buy members and an active community the way they think it can. I personally don't like how they're going for more of a personal webpage kind of thing, from what I read. Many of the people that use social networking and blogging services aren't too into web design.

But we'll see what happens, I highly doubt it will get off the ground like they expect, then again, I'm not sure what audience they're targeting.

Microsoft is coming up with a lot of "beaters" you got the ipod beater, the myspace beater... it seems to me like their just trailing behind trying to scramble to put something together to follow the crowd. Whatever happened to innovation and stealing the ideas out of people's heads, developing them, and then patenting the idea before the person could even get their ideas down on paper? What happened to the Microsoft I used to know?
