MSN Search is good for everyone

With the MSN Search service officially going live, I think it's a great thing. I love Google, and they're good at what they do, but they're far from perfect. I'm sure Microsoft is far from perfect as well, but the point is that having a little competition should light a fire under their collective asses to do it better. Who will win? Who cares? If it leads to better search I don't care.

I mentioned before that I'm conditionally more fond of MSN Search at the moment because three of my sites are top-four in the listings for their primary search terms. A number 1, 2 and 4. I can't complain about that!

  • Regardless of the search results, it still looks like google wins on UI and un-clutteredness. I guess it was another ads vs. UI. vs. quality of information vs..... decision.



    What's up with some searches where the amount of pages displayed at the bottom changes with each page of that search?

  • I agree Jeff.



    With MSN entering the arena it offers a healthier environment for website owners competing in the search engine community. Having all or the majority of the traffic come from Google is good in the short terms but could be disastrous in the long run.
