To answer your question:
A blogging platform examples are:
WordPress; Blogspot/Blogger; tumblr;

This announcement, which was made at TechCrunch Disrupt, comes as a bit of a surprise and will surely upset some of Windows Live Spaces' most active users. It does, however, fit into Microsoft's vision for its Live.com brand.
I guess this recent announcement by WP and MS answers my question.
I assume in that case that BING will favor/prefer or otherwise give time priority to blog posts made on WP platform. (Same way as Blogger posts get priority on g+/you search+).
And then I may be wrong.

New question: What is Windows Live brand supposed to provide?
Thanks.
