[...] MSN is a youngster in SE world BLIP MSN came out the last and if Google could be considered an elder, Yahoo as an unstable teenager that has a lot of stored knowledge but rarely reads it (see Yahoo used to be a Directory and Yahoo is based on Inktomi Slurp Blips), MSN is a baby with little or no experience. It seems that whatever archived information MSN algorithms may refer to they simply have no time-depth to them. Hence it should create a more levelled playing field where Oldies have less advantage simply because MSN has no way of knowing exactly how long they’ve been out there. [...]

[...] Yahoo used to be a Directory BLIP Yahoo started as the largest human-edited directory on freaking earth and we should not forget that the ailing DMOZ used to be a popular reaction to an almost total monopoly Yahoo used to have in this market. Gradually with volume increase this became less and less viable as a business model and Yahoo abandoned its Directory leaving only paid inclusion as the last remnance of the former gigantic and ambitious project. For some time it existed sucking results from Google (and DMOZ too?) but when they decided to compete and bought Inktomi (see Yahoo is based on Inktomi Blip) surely they added some expertise they accumulated throgh years of directory building and maintanance to their algorithms.

[...] BLIP Remember there was a Search engine called Inktomi and it even had its own spider named Slurp for whatever stupid reason? Remember when Yahoo in fight for its independence from Google results bought Inktomi and Inktomi Slurp suddenly became Yahoo Slurp? To remind you here is a snapshot of an Inktomi.com page taken from Webarchive and dated by 2002. It pitches the qualities of their Web Search and we a rightly assuming that this plus Yahoo in-house Directory skills and experience are at the core of the current Yahoo engine. [...]

[...] BLIP At least at the time of writing MSN has probably the fastest content refresh cycles (the fastest indexing of new domains and URLs, the fastest update on changes). Once again it could simply be se because it is yet lacking the volume and time-depth but on the other hand it might be their chosen tactic – to save on complex calculations with the aim to deliver the freshest results. If this is so one must admit that they are aiming at Web 2.0 straight ahead. To be able to process quickly changing dynamic content and deliver results ahead of the pack could be their USP in this game. [...]
