Blogads seems to have a bit of jealousy over MS' recent deal with Volvo to be the premier sponsor for Spaces. Henry Copeland dregs up the worst of Spaces to make his point.. without mentioning such great blogs as Paul Britton's, Mike Torres, CanadianHawk's, and The Psychedelic Circuit, all of which are on my blogroll. And I know I'm forgetting thousands if not millions more.

Mr. Copeland, shame on you. The least you could have done was make mention that there are blogs on Spaces which are updated daily, have useful information, and do not include the words you mentioned. Instead he tries to turn it into some blatant promotion for his service. What Mr. Copeland fails to tell you is Blogads for the most part doesn't do much in the way of ads for anything other than political blogs (note how he quotes about a dozen people.. all except two or three are political bloggers). So with Blogads, you are going to get a real limited audience. With spaces, you are reaching a MUCH MUCH wider audience - nearly 4.5 million spaces, from a much wider spectrum of the consuming public.

Mr. Copeland, you also do not understand the concept of Spaces. For the most part, Spaces is not intended to be a public blog service. Yes, some people like myself have turned it into a public blog, but for the most part.. people do not. It's about communties of people you know. Hrm, I wonder why MS put the "gleams" in MSN Messenger?

Very disappointing Mr. Copeland, very disappointing.
