Should Microsoft launch a social network similar to FaceBook or Google+?

i didn't read all that you've said, but They have one already.

I was aware of that, however

"On September 27, 2010, Microsoft announced that it would discontinue Windows Live Spaces, and in partnership with Automattic, a free opt-in migration of user blogs to WordPress.com will be offered to Windows Live Spaces users.^[3] Beginning January 4, 2011, users were not able to make changes to Spaces, but contents were still viewable and downloadable. Windows Live Spaces was fully shut down on March 16, 2011."

Spaces also failed to integrate the many services Microsoft already has a kay part of what I said would make it a success. Spaces wasn't viable as a competant competitor with FaceBook or Google+. It didn't have the app support or user base to support a proper competitor, with Yahoo's possible take over Microsoft has a golden oppertunity to really take the market by storm.

Also with the newer versions of Windows , Microsoft is integrating services more and more it would be a natural step for Microsoft to create a single profile hub integrating all of its services into one social networking site. Of course other users could still access Hotmail or Yahoo Mail or use the different messengers. But you could go on the Microsoft social networking hub and access any and all of Microsoft's services at once as well as all the social networking features.

I'm not talking about just carbon copying FaceBook, I'm talking about creating a new service incorporating everything Windows has at its disposal. A single hub for everything Windows online, Live, Bing, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo, Windows OS, Windows Phone's , Messenger (MSN and Yahoo). Microsoft has a chance to actually create a service on par if not superior to that of FaceBook and Google+!
