Microsoft improves MSN Spaces blogging service

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Microsoft has sharpened its free MSN Spaces blogging service with tune-ups for its search feature and new options for generating revenue through partnerships with Amazon.com and Kanoodle.com

To improve searching on MSN Spaces, Microsoft loaded new code on the service's back end last week, and users should begin to see increasingly better results in the coming days and weeks, as the souped-up system crawls the blogs.

Before last week's retooling, the MSN Spaces search feature often delivered "unsatisfying" results and sometimes worked in "complicated" and "mysterious" ways, according to a posting on Thursday on the service's official blog.
