MSN Updates Start.com Site with New Features
Yesterday, MSN's experimental Start.com customizable homepage received a few updates and bug fixes that you can read about on the Start.com blog.
The most noticeable change comes in the way search results are displayed. Start.com results pages now allow you to quickly move between web results, news results, and RSS results via tab links at the top of the page. RSS results come from feed directory that's powered by Moreover and also used at My MSN.. Also, Start.com now allows you to subscribe to feeds via a link next to each RSS result.
Ok, MSN has a searchable directory of RSS feeds. However, you've got to think that it will be sooner rather than later when MS releases their own fully functioning and standalone RSS engine. We've mentioned that MSN was developing an RSS engine a couple of times on SEW. Once, last November in Chris's original review of MSN Search and again a few weeks later in a blog post by Danny.
