Microsoft Unleashes Search Bot and World Will Never be the Same
Site owners, watch out. Microsoft is crawling through your web pages. Analyzing your site's text, following your links, going through your stuff. How's that for creepy? What's it mean?
Traffick's insider at MSN tells us that Microsoft has begun to reveal the fruit of its algorithmic search efforts -- MSNBot. And the world will never be the same.
OK, so, I'm being a bit melodramatic. But, when Microsoft does something, as anyone knows by now, they do it... shall we say, in a slightly nasty fashion. Analysts, and Microsoft itself, says that it has Google in its crosshairs. News.com reports that Microsoft has decided to roll its own search engine, instead of purchasing an algorithmic based engine, a decision that will have implications for every site owner in the world -- eventually.
Traffick's insider says that this is just the first salvo in the War on Google, and the end product of MSNBot won't be seen until at least next spring. So, enjoy your site's freedom, while it lasts. By this time next year, Microsoft might own you!
