Microsoft has just announced that it's teaming up with WordPress on Live Spaces blogs. According to Microsoft, Windows Live Spaces has 30 million active users -- so this is a significant boost for the WordPress.com platform.
Some of the highlights of the migration:
Microsoft will redirect all Spaces URLs to WordPress.com, so users won't lose any visitors.
Spaces is going to be shut down in March.
Migration should be almost painless -- posts, media, comments, and links will all be moved automatically.
Personally, I think it's very nice to see Microsoft teaming up with another company like this. This is a fairly major move, and it does require some guts -- though it now allows Microsoft to focus on software for blogging (Live Writer) instead of worrying about maintaining a blog platform.Microsoft migrating 30 million Live Spaces blogs to WordPress.com originally appeared on Download Squad on Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:00:00 EST.
