» Squawkbox: Corporate Use of MSN Spaces-- check out CNBC. Rant alert from James Governor's MonkChips
Who'd a thunk it - a corporate blog on MSN Spaces. Check this out. Big problems a gwan though. The CNBC site does a horrible job of supporting Firefox. No pictures and so on. No buttons. Please stop the... [Read More]

Very weird. That could be the worst professional blog I've ever seen. MSN Spaces works well for hip teens and pre-teens, not professional blogs. Is CNBC targeting teenagers?

I have to agree that it's pretty lame, and hate the permanent Volvo ad. Can they at least have some different ads?

Incredibly lame, beyond the pale, but I guess it's fitting, a show few are now watching, coupled with a blog, few are hitting. I'd be highly embarrassed to even pass that blog around. I still can't get the 'teen-age rambling diary concept' out of my head when viewing any MSN Spaces blog. It's like having a famous Chef award-winning 7-course-meal, presented on SpongeBob plates. The presentation ruins all content.

I don't get it either...CNBC's audience deserves a better presentation.
Today, I saw a business lifestyle mag (Triple Witching Friday) issue a "sell signal" for CNBC's Squawk Blog:
CNBC's new Squawk Blog: Buy, sell or hold? SELL!

Hey Guys...
Point well taken.. but the fact of the matter is this... The Squawk Blog is up and coming. The reason its on MSN Spaces is because of the partnership we have with MSN. We have spoken with MSN and are looking to get a couple of things done to the site to make it a little more pleasing for our viewers. In a little less than 3 weeks, we've logged over 130,000 hits...I don't think that's too bad for a blog on Spaces.
And although some may say Spaces is for kids...its the largest Blogosphere out there...and I am sure other shows will follow our lead.
The blog is meant to be a place where viewers can connect with our talent. A place to voice comments on the show, check out the next day's lineup, find the Squawk Back Question of the Day and check out daily postings from Mark, Joe, David, Becky and Steve.
I'm not quite sure of what a "professional blog" is supposed to look like...but we are going to do our best to make it better.
