MSN Takes on Google AdWords
kevmo writes "CNET News.com reports that Microsoft's MSN unit launched its own paid-search advertising program in France and said it plans to begin testing the system in the United States next month. FTA: "The system competes with Google's AdWords program and will eventually replace a keyword-based advertising program MSN contracts out to Yahoo. It has a simple user interface and is notable for its use of customer profiling, taking advantage of the data MSN gathers from its more than 9 million subscribers.""

I would imagine that they probably look up things like Wine, Cheese, syphillis and Kylie Minogue whereas Americans are more prone to Pepsi, cheese, porn and Jessica Alba... ;-p pretty significant difference if you think about the implied cultures.
OF course we have cheese in common but in France it's capitalized, cause in America cheese is something that comes in a can.
A fool throws a stone into a well and a thousand sages can not remove it.
I probably should have read the fine print when signing up to Slashdot. Now all my base belong to... ah screw it.

BUY PCs? What kind of nerd BUYS PCs? I mean, besides Mac nerds? I build my own PCs and run Linux on them.
