  1. Re:Web-based RSS Feed Reader by lou2ser · · Score: 1 · on The Importance of RSS

    I think you would be interested in Start1 or Start2

    Its put out by Microsoft, but you don't sign up for an account. Its beta, so odds are that will change.

    It supports uploading OPML files so you can export your existing feeds and upload them to the website.

    Heres a good writeup about it.

    Well, Microsoft at least it already has a aquivalent with a javascript RSS reader and everything, so Microsoft seems to be "ahead" in this case: http://www.start.com/1/

  4. MSN's sandbox test searchpage by standsolid · · Score: 3, Informative · on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines?

    I personally think Microsoft's sandbox search engine front-end is pretty nifty.

    Too bad the search results aren't nearly as up to par as google's results (in my opinion)

  5. is this site shared source? by diegocgteleline.es · · Score: 2, Interesting · on A Perspective on Microsoft's Shared Source

    I wonder if the code behind start.com/1 is shared source. It has a nice javascript RSS reader I'd like to copy *cought*

  7. Re:And the real loser is... by diegocgteleline.es · · Score: 1 · on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google

    In a Google vs Yahoo war, the real loser is: (mini-dumrol)(dum-da!) Microsoft search.

    Really? Take a look to MSN 7, where they put a text field with a "search" button in the main window which suprisingly takes you to a msn search windows (which BTW don't follows system configuration and opens the window in IE even if you configured other browser as the default one for your system...) In fact, they'll probaby include their msn search bar as a default option in the messenger installer, so they'll have +90% of the computers with a msn search bar installed. They may won a big percentage of users just by doing this. They're Microsoft, they control the OS people uses to type "google.com" or "yahoo.com"

  8. Re:What's the difference? by Russ+Nelson · · Score: 1 · on Criminal Libel, Free Speech And The Net
    Libel laws exist because not everyone owns a printing press. However, if you're defamed on a web site, you can defend yourself on a web site.

    Maybe somebody needs to start a defamation search engine, which links defamation to defenses against same, and lets people compare to see which is more plausible.
