Windows Live Spaces was Microsoft's blogging/social networking service, a part of Windows Live.

On September 27, 2010, Microsoft announced that Windows Live Spaces would be shut down on March 16, 2011[1]. Users were given the opportunity to download their Space, migrate it to Wordpress.com or let Microsoft delete it along with any other remaining Spaces on D-Day.

Archival Project

ArchiveTeam is working to archive as much of Windows Live Spaces as possible. If you are able to help, please visit the talk page for co-ordination.

Trivia

  • Although there were 7,000,000 profiles on Windows Live Spaces,[2] only 1,000,000 of them had been moved to Wordpress.com by March 2, 2011[3] - a mere 14% of the total.
  • Swicher has gathered some statistics during his effort to download Spaces.
