Default Microsoft says better than Google soon

For example, he said, potential home-buyers might find a group of houses in the price range and with the precise amenities they are seeking.

Bodes well for the sites with custom IDX database that is not framed.

6 months "better than Google"? That's a good one. A glimpse?

Surprising statement, anti-trust gunshyness?

Hey Bill, loosen up those purse strings.

How about a reverse PPC system. All Registered users get paid for using your search engine in software rebates.

blogged about and written about this extensively. MSN is using internet marketers to hype them up. One thing that always happens is that they increase their search engine's usage thru branding ... thru people like us. What never changes is the quality. I leave it at that, except that you guys should check the number 1 ranked "site" for real estate if you want a good laugh. And the article I've written for thirdsquare for those who are interested.

that's too bad. i was actually hoping that msn search would be built into vista. oh well. i like what i've seen so far of vista. i also like what i've seen of msn search so far, however, it does still have a long ways to go. I'll be surprised if they arent' able to seriously steal away a large percentage of the market.

Much different than the last time I visited. Looks like everyone gets to be on page one with serps! Looks like the sponsors change as you scroll down. Tried to confirm that, but don't have time right now.
