Yesterday, Microsoft released its MSN Search Site. It had been beta testing its search engine for a while. Previous to this release, MSN Search was hosted by Yahoo and was third most used search site behind Google and Yahoo. We'll have to see what happens now. I'm not a search expert by any means but have been using the beta for a couple of months. It seems very capable to me. Microsoft says it has big plans for its Search Site. Of course so do Google and Yahoo!
At the same time, Microsoft updated its MSN Website. They trimmed it down and added the MSN Search buttons. I have been playing around with my.msn.com which is a customizable portal on MSN. I think it is pretty neat. You can plug in the content you want and create custom pages like a Weekend Page that includes various plug in components like the weather, movies, dining info, etc. Very cool! They have also just added an RSS Reader component so you can get RSS feeds from your favorite RSS sites!
