Some short news from the google front ;)

1. Few days ago Google launched free online open source project hosting platform. Ofcourse this was planned long before Microsoft launching its codeplex, but you can feel the fights for the niches. Will Yahoo! join? And how this will affect the famous sourceforge?

2. Finaly google analytics doubled its site profile limit from 5 to 10. Many webmasters do not use google analytics, but some of those who do might like this little upgrade.

3. Matt Cutts changed his blogging style - we have some videos where Matt is answering questions on various SEO topics:

Posted in Uncategorized, Microsoft at 9:17 am by gloomy

According to Yahoo! blog they have their new bot (Yahoo! Slurp) version in action that will reduce the number of requests and bandwidth consuption to crawled sites.

Almost at the same time MSN renamed few its bots (they all were named the same before) to help better distinguish them apart. So from now:
The MSN Shopping bot - msnbot-products
The MSN News bot - msnbot-news
The MSN Search bot - msnbot
The MSN Image Search bot - msnbot-media

This will help you better understand what is MSN doing on your site ;)
