MSN RSS Search Engine Launching Soon?
There are some rumors flying around the blogosphere that MSN will be launching an RSS search engine anyday now to add to their search engine offerings. Nick at ThreadWatch picked up on a Niall Kennedy blog posting about Microsoft crawling RSS feeds at a high volume and the launch was supossed to happen on Monday.
Niall Kennedy writes : MSN has been busy this week crawling all the syndication feeds it can find. It looks like Microsoft is getting ready to announce feed search for MSN Search on Monday morning. The move is not too surprising as we have seen MSN dabble in RSS search with the small Start.com research project in public for a few months now. Are you curious what MSN has been up to? Check your server logs for IP addresses 207.68.146.41 and 207.68.146.47 to see the initial probe and 207.68.146.53 for the deeper revisit.
Apparently, Kennedy also writes that Robert Scoble has been plugging MSN RSS all week, which may be an unintentional part of the buzz build up.
