Well, you knew it was only a matter of time before Microsoft got its paws onto blogs somehow… Liz Lawley at the Corante-hosted Many2Many blog informs that this wonderful new service from Microsoft won’t just give you all the news that’s fit to blog, but will index “just the ones that MSN determines provide the most useful information…”
Umm, yeah. That sounds like a good idea. I don’t really think blogs need a filter - just like I don’t think news needs a filter. If you’re telling me that MS won’t index all blogs unless they’ve been up for more than 30 days or something so they aren’t trying to keep track of every blog from the moment they start, I can almost understand that. But for MSN to decide what they think is important and go from there? The joke of it all is that they’ll end up using like the Top 100 from Blogrunner or something.
