Unlike some people, I have not been frantically trying to get my weblog high in the Google search on my name, but that should be a natural consequence of the fact that this is my home page on the Internet.

Everybody knows that Google's results have been skewed to an extent by weblogs to a point where something was done to the engine to reduce the influence of weblogs over other content. However, to this day, if you search for me using Google you will first find some of my posts on Boost mailing list, then some of my comments on Scobleizer weblog, followed by other comments I made on some other blogs and finally a few links below (strangely enough) a link to the RSS of entrepreneurship category of my weblog (go figure).

Naturally, now that MSN search (link to French version) is in beta, I tried it out immediately. Somewhat to my surprise, when searching for me, the first link is my weblog.

Way to go Microsoft! I don't know what you did, but in this particular case the first link is definitely more relevant. Just like I am pleased to see MS having competitors in various areas, I am pleased to find new competitors of Google in the search space.
