Live.com Search Interview and Some Questions I Still Have

Rob Murray put up an interview with Derreck O’Connell on searchengineland.com. It was a nice interview but it didn’t get some questions asked that I’d love to know the answers to!

When will Live.com have a blog search engine product offering?

In the main Live.com index, many assert  that blogs don’t receive as much weight in index as traditional sites based statistics like Hitwise data. What would you state to them?

What are you doing to limit splogs and made for advertising sites in your index? (Especially since these sites often directly benefit your competitor(s) financially)

There are other questions I have about Live.com, but they are outside the scope of what was discussed here that I wish to clarify right now.

Yesterday I wrote about Matt Cutts painful WordPress experience upgrading to WordPress 2.1. Later in the day his blog was hacked. This once again shows that WordPress has released vulnerable software in the live environment.
