Blog entries are now eligible for a Pulitzer Prize.

NewsGator Enterprise Server software is part of Intel Suite Two. Suite Two also includes Six Apart’s Movable Type blogging product. Fits the “closely partner with” prediction by Brandon Paddock.

Regarding Shel’s comment on the growth of personal blogs I think the success of MySpace accounts with blogs, Facebook notes, and new products with privacy settings front and center such as Six Apart’s Vox and Google’s new Blogger service prove Shel correct.

If Microsoft continues to lose a large amount of money in the Entertainment and Devices division it could be argued they are buying their way into the living room. Losing hundreds of dollars on each Xbox to gain a home entertainment node for example, or media extenders not turning a profit.

The RSS aggregator space saw a few acquisitions such as Microsoft’s purchasing Onfolio and Six Apart’s purchasing Rojo.
