How about integration in to the OS like they are talking about with the next Windows release.

I don't understand why everybody are so happy of MSN dropping Looksmart. Looksmart was a pretty cheap why to advertise with pretty dissent traffic (from MSN).

If you are professional webmaster you would like a steady traffic and Looksmart was pretty good source of traffic. You can't count on Google free unless you like to dance every month with your position up and down or you are not doing it for a living

Dropping Looksmart is not good for Google or Yahoo...Microsoft is taking over...and they will...they will allow everybody to receive free traffic in the beginning and then they will start to charge. This is a predicted 7 billion dollars market by 2007...so if you think Microsoft is here to provide us with a better search experience....then I have a bridge for sale

Did you ever try to advertise with MSN? 40K a month minimum they will not even talk to you for less
can you effort it?
