Microsoft's MSN plans new search engine in July
 

Link

It's finally getting into the hot phase on this one

People will still use Google though.

It already has a mindshare, its a household name nowdays - people came to it for the clean interface, and stayed for the consistantly good results.

This won't be as big as they want it to be

that's what I think too

Whatever happened to Amazon's search engine to compete with Google?

Has it been scrapped?

possible yeah
but i wouldnt want to underestimate the power of microsoft at that stage already

thats why i posted it...
COULD get interesting

It's interesting that people still think that Google will remain on top simply because of it's branding and that it will continue to be the ultimate source of traffic.

Our stats are suggesting something different. We have a number of sites on Page 1 of Google Serps and Yahoo Serps - Yahoo sends us more traffic for those listings than does Google.

about time there was some more big players in the game

Never doubt Microsoft boys.
