    If you're going to worry about the loss of trees. Make sure you buy paper from companies that renew their forest stock.

  3. UI is one thing. Content is another. by TaxSlave · · Score: 1 · on MSN Search - From A UI Perspective

    The single most important aspect of any search engine, for me, is that my own site (Lockjaw's Lair) show up in it. It should be at or near the top of a specific search, since the title of the site consists of an odd pairing of words, or at least show up.

    So, I did a search for my site on MSN Search to see how I fared. It doesn't bode well for a search site that I can find links to my site on other sites, but the search engine hasn't followed the links to my site. One would think that their spider would have been following these links, especially as there are more than a few of them, but I haven't found evidence that it has done so.

    I understand that the new MSN search aims to rival Google in completeness of its database. I hope that my own experience isn't indicative of a major lack of completeness or a substandard spidering tool.

    I don't expect an instant complete spidering of my whole site. It would be nice if the spider would just follow one of the links and look at my front page.

  5. I'm a daily blog-hound, and blogger by TaxSlave · · Score: 1 · on Your Favorite Political Weblogs?

    My favorite blog list has been expanding, lately. I regularly read InstaPundit and The Right Coast, among others. I've recently begun reading Powerline and Michelle Malkin. My favorite "political" blogs, though, are actually economics blogs. I can't let a day go by without checking Marginal Revolution and The Volokh Conspiracy, which are two of the most interesting blogs I've read since I started reading Slashdot.

    In addition to all of that, I read a wide variety of news sites every day, listen to news radio and watch news in the morning. That's all so I can do a better job in the writing on my own blog, where I cover politics, amateur radio, life, and anything I think is cool. Check out Lockjaw's Lair and don't forget to buy the T-Shirt.
