The MSN network of Internet services has introduced updates to its free communication services to make e-mail, instant messaging and online sharing easier and more personal for consumers.
 
The updates include a beta version of MSN Spaces, a new Web logging (blogging) service that enables consumers to create their own personal place on the Web, as well as a beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0, updates to MSN Hotmail and deeper integration between the services to enable more compelling communications experiences for consumers.
 
Commenting on the launch of the new features Krishna Prasad, head of programming at MSN India said, "MSN Spaces will enable our users to communicate and express themselves in a unique way.
 
With Spaces, users will be able to share music, photographs and post notes on their personal blog, communicating seamlessly and conveniently at all times.
 
"These improvements are in line with MSN's vision of providing an unparalleled customer experience and helping people around the world connect to the Internet in different ways," added Krishna Prasad.
 
MSN Hotmail has been updated with a photo upload tool for all consumers to make it easier for them to share pictures online.
 
The beta versions of MSN Spaces and MSN Messenger and Hotmail help give consumers even more ways to communicate and share through MSN Hotmail, including these viewing online status anywhere.
 
Through integration between MSN Hotmail and MSN Web Messenger, in select markets, consumers are able to see Messenger availability status even on PCs that don't have MSN Messenger client software.
 
In addition to this, MSN Hotmail consumers who have an MSN Spaces site will have a Contact Card visible in the Hotmail address book, providing friends, family and other online contacts with one-click access to their Spaces site.
