Ok maybe I am a bit late but the auction is over and Jeremy has sold his services for $3350, not bad at all. Congratulations! The purchaser was Inkspress, good luck to them!

Ponderance on MSBlog
Tama, from Ponderance has highlighted some very interesting points which I missed in my first test drive of MSN Spaces. I guess it is really designed as a consumer tool, which is not a bad thing.
