I have added several new links to my friends who happened to have blog. I discovered them from MSN Messenger. They are all hosted in MSN Spaces. This is a quintessential example that discrete technologies have a propensity to consolidation; I can simply click on an icon in the messenger and it will bring me to my friend's space. No wonder why there were speculations about that Google might have it's own IM product. That will be great, won't it?
