More from Looksmart's News Release [shareholder.com]
From the news release, "LookSmart and Microsoft have signed a contract to cover the distribution of LookSmart's Directory Listings and Small Business Listings on MSN through December 3, 2003. The amendment replaces a distribution agreement for Directory Listings alone and adds Small Business Listings to the program. The new contract does not affect LookSmart's principal database licensing agreement with MSN, which also runs through December 3, 2003."
For every search term I look up on MSN, I hardly see any that are provided from LookSmart. Most of them are stale picks from MSN editors long ago. For my search terms, I had to tell them to remove a site that they had for their number one position, because the site had been out of business and closed for over 9 months, and that by clicking on it, users would get a 404 not found message. How can MSN keep blowing smoke before users start to pick up on it? Human editors can't possibly keep up, look at DMOZ. If you want MSN to talk to you, you have to chalk up 40 G's just to get listed as a featured site.
DIE LOOKSMART! DIE MSN! Just DIE! Go GOOGLE!
