Inspecting MSN Search

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the understanding-the-heart-of-the-beast dept.

ins0maniac writes "I compared Yahoo, Google and MSN's image search. I noticed that, MSN's search had images from only a few sites. I searched for keywords britney spears and randomly checked few pages upto page number 20 and found that the 400 images were only from 3 domains :| 5in9.com, celebritypicturesarchive.com and nabou.com. This is totally weird as it doesn't seem like a search engine, but a collection of few online galleries." There's a number of other interesting notes in the entry about the new search engine. Also, Britney.

    I predict there will be at least one post(and probably several posts) with this theme.

    The only reason all cover-ups appear to fail is that you never hear about the ones that succeed.

    Perhaps there is just an issue with performing a search on only one subject or maybe Britney does not have the star power she used to have. I did a seach on Anna Kournikova, and it offered a plethora of web sites.

    Don't be ridiculous...

    If you're in England, the closest English-speaking ally of the US, you would be expected to know who the head of government is.

    We're not talking about Sri Lanka, Colombia or some other benighted place.

    Not knowing Tony Blair's name is like not knowing London is in England...

    Of course, there are plenty of "educated" US citizens who can't find Italy on a map...

    Not to mention the fact that she's viewed in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" saying "We should trust our President"... That's as fucking dumb as it gets...
