Microsoft shut down a WordPress blog and migrate

Microsoft and Automattic has announced agreement new which make blogging platform WordPress of Microsoft, replacing Windows Live Spaces.
Users will have 6 months to make
content migration or loss of all material them. That's why they provide tool for the process.



Although there are many blogs on the space platform, 30 million users, its relevance in the blogosphere and Internet in general have been much lower than achieved by Automattic platform, which has attract the best artists of style
thanks to the quality of service and communication equipment, always offered free of charge. Its 26 million blogs around 250 million hits per
day.

Pass the Windows Live blog WordPress
To make this task easier because WordPress.com has created a tool that can import the contents of the Windows Live Spaces blog New wordpress. Published transfer process all text, pictures and comments, and accompanied by automatic URL redirection.

To avoid further ado, the new user which regulates a blog on Windows Live Spaces will accept that recommendation, on the contrary, is to create a blog in WordPress.

The deadline to change the platform is six months. About Spaces in March 2011 will vanish and, as noted by Microsoft, all its contents will be lost permanently.
Wordpress and Windows Live will be connected, also through Friend Connect. Let's make Public profile blogs and broadcast to all contacts You soon.

New directions from Microsoft Live
Another thing to consider. With this alliance, Microsoft provides a step small towards the free software. WordPress is a platform created by this premise, uniqueness of the Microsoft some years ago would have refused altogether. But ashamed of his new philosophy of openness and standardization is reflected in every new ad.

Waiver is also appropriate post their own platform in their plan to define Live.com platform, such as the announcement of the alliance with LinkenIn. As said Dharmesh Mehta, Windows Live group product manager, ReadWriteWeb company plans to integrate the best products rather than rediscover them. WordPress is why they chose, because they considers the best solution for users them.

This is the second announcement of the closure blogging platform this September after the Vox.
