is on now, so a comparison is possible. I thought I’d compare using a very relevant search using the terms “alberto gonzales” at the senate.gov site. The results from MSN were shocking in their sparseness – it only returned 6 hits. The results from Google turned up 112 hits. Just in case, I used the graphical tuners to make sure MSN wasn’t just presenting me with a subset based on my initial (default) settings, but that didn’t change anything. From where I sit, turning up but 5% of the results is quite a failure for the Microsoft search.

Lest we forget
A nice, timely photo and accompanying post from striatic over at Flickr.
Public Beta:
the new MSN Search. Doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, but this is supposed to be a big improvement. I’m not holding my breath though.
Last week, Paul Wells noted
the fact that CanWest Global is trying to foist a new contract on freelance writers. The new contract gives CanWest Global all rights to anything written in perpetuity. Wells sums up the problem with this very well, and as someone who made a portion of his living through his words, I really hope writers can resist this.
Chris has posted
some good thoughts about his experience at an open meeting with members of the Canada Council on the new funding scheme for visual arts. He raises some valuable points that I wish would be addressed by someone. It’s particularly disturbing to understand that though they are making a radical move to funding exhibitions, not artists, that they didn’t seem to have an overarching principle guiding that change.
