Microsoft camp studies blog search
eWeek | at | by Mike
It's never too late for camp; not in Redmond, Wash., anyway.
The start of fall marks the annual "MSN Search Champs Camp," which software giant Microsoft holds for the purpose of investigating how it can better integrate Weblogs into Microsoft's Internet search results.
The event, held last week, gathers together Microsoft search honchos and writers of "blogs," the frequently updated online journals that usually offer links to Web sites the author favors.
The bloggers then spend a few days telling Microsoft how MSN Search, Microsoft's popular search engine, can better integrate their work into its search results, according to several 2005 camp attendees. Substantive details of the sometimes raucous discussions are kept secret.
