I was actually surprised that I was invited to the Searchification event MSN is throwing tomorrow because I haven’t been much of a Live Search supporter over the last year or so.  As someone who was involved in the early stages of the MSN project (even before the original Search Champs) I ended up being very disappointed in the project because IMO, the product should be much better at this stage in the game.

My initial feeling about tomorrow’s event is that it’s going to be an attempt to “shine shit.” We’re going to see a bunch of new bells and whistles that are going to be bolted onto the top of a platform that just doesn’t work very well. (In terms of algorithmic relevance). I’m hoping that I’m wrong and I’m going to be blown away, but I just don’t think that’s realistic.

Regardless, one of the qualities I do admire about the MSN team is their ability to take hard, constructive criticism. I’m sure we’re going to get a decent amount of time to let the questions fly, so I’m curious what questions you would ask if you were attending? I have a couple issues I’m looking forward to venting about, but I’d love to add a few more.

Fell free to post your questions in the comments, and I’ll try and post the answers they give me when I get back.
