Msn Spaces 10.5 Released!

That’s right Msn Spaces build 10.5.2517.0 is now out!

We have some great changes in MSN Spaces.

Have a picture that has a great story around it…you can now add a description to your photos.  Your viewers can now add comment to photos as well as blogs.  So make sure to go to someone’s photo album and leave a comment on your favorite photo as well.  We’ve also gotten rid of that pesky storage limit.  You can now upload up to 500 PHOTOS A MONTH!

Great news for those of you living in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France or Japan.  You can now make money with MSN Spaces.  You heard me.  Make Money!  With Amazon.com if you sign up for an associates ID, whenever anyone buys a book from Amazon.com by linking through from your space, you get a portion of that.  So make sure to put up all of your favorite and maybe not so favorite books online.

In the same vain if you live in the US or Canada, you can earn money by allowing Kanoodle ads to run in your space.

In love with your brand new Xbox 360!  Of course you are.  Well now you can show that love by adding your Xbox Recent Games Played and your Xbox Gamercard to your MSN Space.  There are even five new themes all about Xbox.
 
Speaking of themes there are now over 100 to choose from.

We haven’t forgotten blogging either.  You can now post entries from three different email addresses instead of just one.  For those of you who like to keep your space clean, we have also included multiple check delete.  No more going click, delete, click, delete, click, delete.  Select all the ones you want to get rid of and click delete…..EASY!  We’ve included better blog navigation (i.e. View more entries links and Previous/Next within posts) and you can now choose how you want your blog entries to appear (by date or entry title)

And if all that is still not enough. We’ve beefed up permissions, Search (LINK), Integrated Member Directory and included lots of new fun stuff in Profile (General, Social, Contact Info), updated profile module with actionable photo, and included the Live Contacts Beta (LINK), which is launching as a feature in MSN Spaces.

We are launching in five new markets (Latin America, South Africa, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore)

We’ve even cleaned up the URL’s.  No more /members/

And for you Powertoy users….We have increased the character limit on the HTML Powertoy, AND included new extensions that play in the Windows Media Powertoy.

There is much more that we haven’t mentioned here and still more on the horizon. So keep your eyes peeled, and make sure to give us your feedback!

So head over to your Msn Space and see the changes for yourself!
