Horowitz's statement followed a comment from an audience member, who questioned why Yahoo didn't have a better blogging authoring and hosting service.

Robert Scoble has had some fun “auditing” Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces. In “Is Microsoft really the largest blog vendor?” Scoble challenges Microsoft’s assertions:

Earlier this month, Softbank Capital of New York led a $5 million first round of funding for political group blog Huffington Post, the site operated by columnist and one-time California gubernatorial candidate Arianna Huffington.
