Something I just read:
"With the way msnbot is crawling sites right now, it probably won't be long until microsoft fully unleashes it's searching powers, probably in time for some form of integration into longhorn."
Sounds very possible. last month msnbot did 185mb traffic on my forums alone. Where as google did less than 1mb. Maybe google bot's searching is just better? Time shall tell.
Google has been indexing websites for a while - they've been able to index content as it goes live, rather than doing what MSN are doing now (i.e. playing catchup with their crappy searching technology)
Not that I'm one to be critical of them, of course.
"The way msnbot is crawling sites right now, it probably won't be long until microsoft fully unleashes it's searching powers, probably in time for some form of inclusion of the entire internet integrated into longhorn as microsoft's own IP"
Pfft, what am I thinking... it never stops! ...
