Seeking to raise its profile in the increasingly influential world of bloggers, software giant Microsoft said Monday it has launched a preview version of its new community blogging service called MSN Filter that will focus on topics like music and fashion in addition to technology.

MSN Filter (filter.msn.com) currently features blog posts written by six staff bloggers on various subjects that also include television and sports. The service is also looking to eventually become a community-driven site where readers can post in many categories, Microsoft said. But it won’t be a free-for-all. Microsoft staff bloggers will review the comments before they go live.
