This is taken from March 26, 2004 SeattlePI.com: An interesting Microsoft-related development today for the weblogging community: MSN Blogbot. It's essentially a tool for searching weblogs, set to debut later this year. MSN exec Yusuf Mehdi showed it briefly on screen during a conference on the Redmond campus today, along with MSN Newsbot, a news search engine also in development. Mehdi was pressed for time and moved on quickly, so he didn't share many details about Blogbot. It's not yet clear, for example, if it will be based on RSS feeds, a la the popular Feedster, although that would make sense.....
I have been searching with bots and blogs for the last three years and in fact I have been presenting through my presentations for the last year .... see Bots, Blogs and New Aggregators.
