MSN unveils their new homepage with lots of features. MSN, Microsoft’s content network property, couldn’t resist them to join the race of social networking like Google, Twitter, Facebook etc. If you visit MSN, you feel the difference. MSN focuses on news, social networking, local networking and Bing search.
The redesign has began as early as November 2009. MSN has been gathering feedback while answering those meaningful ones by way of updates to the site. In fact, they have made 30 updates since November, all courtesy of MSN users who’ve sent their feedback to MSN.
Here are the major new features of the MSN site:
It’s all about Bing – Increased Bing search box prominence, new TrendWatch highlighting the day’s top movers on Twitter, enhanced editorial programming of search-related content, increased prominence of popular searches and testing of search history features
Localization features – Now includes hyper-local tweets, myCities, 3,000 news video clips from 36 local markets delivered in partnership with NBC Local Media and Hearst TV.
Media and News – The homepage now has more media and news items including HD video viewing.
Social Networking – Social networking module of the homepage is now default to Facebook, being the most frequently used, according to MSN.
Basically, MSN is going into the same content-rich homepage design of Yahoo’s content network – something that delivers the goodies to users all in one place. Hopefully, this sparks more interest into the site and converts to more monthly eyeballs for MSN.
