Moreover Technologies Provides MSN With RSS Feed Search and Access Capability

My MSN Users to Benefit From Ability to Quickly Locate and Access Millions of Blogs and Other RSS Feeds

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Moreover Technologies, the premier provider of aggregated online current awareness information, today announced the selection of their RSS feed search and access technology by MSN to provide convenient access to millions of blogs and other RSS feeds from the My MSN homepage.

The companies worked closely together to develop several unique features:

-- Feed Discovery -- Enables My MSN users to identify and subscribe to Internet publishers based upon their interests, whether the sources are from popular news sources or individual blogs.

-- Feed Reading -- Once selected, the desired feeds are displayed on the user's My MSN page utilizing a state-of-the-art caching system to reduce the bandwidth demands on small individual publisher sites. This enables small publishers' content to be viewed across a wider audience without incurring additional hosting costs.

-- RSS Search -- Unlike other RSS search tools that only search across information about the RSS feed, Moreover enables users to find relevant content by providing the capability to search against the full content of the originating posts.

-- Feed Inclusion -- Bloggers and other RSS feed owners are able to conveniently submit their feed for inclusion within the My MSN content search via Moreover's ping server. This Moreover powered feature is also of significance to the blogging community because any blogs in the Moreover system will now be available to the vast MSN community of users.

"My MSN is designed to give consumers easy access to the information that matters most to them all in one place," said Hadi Partovi, General Manager at MSN. "MSN is pleased to be working with Moreover to give consumers another great way to get news and information on demand."

The selection of Moreover further expands its relationship with Microsoft, as Moreover already provides current news content to MSN Search and Newsbot services.

"With the explosion of quality content published in blogs and RSS feeds, the challenge is how to efficiently find and access the most relevant content," said Jim Pitkow, president and chief executive officer of Moreover Technologies. "We're proud to work with MSN on delivering the first full content blog and RSS search capability in a major portal."

The My MSN portal can be found online at http://my.msn.com/. Bloggers wishing to submit their feeds to Moreover for inclusion within the MSN Content Search can visit http://www.moreover.com/ping.
