They were getting sick of Orkut. And their green and gold is pretty damn close to Australia. So very interesting that the secret powerhouse in blogging - that tween alternative to the kewl kids myspace : MSN Spaces, now has ads (partnered with amazon and kanoodle) that bloggers can make dough on, and they are getting into crawling and enhanced searching through profiling (open text field on location doh :( and content. One of my favourite current topics ! Link via Blogherald/Torres and finally The Spaces Blog (cant be long till there is a link attribution blogging firefox extension startup eh ?) Frank Arrigo - this is what I'm interested in understanding more about, I was using it yesterday on ninemsn spaces and it seemed to not be functional in terms of search results : "In order to make your content on MSN Spaces “searchable,” our search crawler needs to go out and crawl your content. Hmmm, this sounds kind of circular, you may be thinking. Well, maybe that sentence was, but the way this works isn’t J: on Jan 25th we added a whole bunch of new code to spaces.msn.com. Some of it you can see (like some new features and new design) and some of it you can’t. The stuff you can’t see is code we added to your MSN Spaces pages that will make them searchable. And like we said above, it takes some time for our crawler to go out and crawl your MSN Spaces pages with this new search code on them."
