This is a very cool thing for MSN to do ... but I have to ask myself why they are being so helpful? It just doesn't seem to be in their best interest to supply this info and support the concept of rank checking.

Are they really that evolved or is there an ulterior motive? Are they trying to identify SEO types and any requests coming from the site they point to will suddenly nose dive in the SERPS in a few months time?

Sorry, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around this. It just blows me away. I guess I am looking for a conspiracy where there likely isn't one. All the same ....
