MSN’s Start.com

Friday 17 June 2005 @ 12:40 pm

MSN Start
MSN just came up with a little game at Start.com.

Start is the new page MSN is working on, the concept is quite closed to My Google released few weeks ago. Therefore if you go to Start.com and answer correctly to all their questions (5 of them) you will get the URL of the latest development stage for start.com.

MSN is playing around on a dynamic homepage where you can drag and drop modules to place them wherever you want them to appear, something similar to My Google. The page displays the traditional News, Stocks, Weather plus what seems to be personalized RSS Feeds.

Programmers For Browsers Wanted

Wednesday 8 June 2005 @ 2:28 pm

IE Blog just announced some job vacancies in Microsoft as Programming Writer for Internet Explorer (IE). This is their newest open position is for a Programming Writer position for work on the SDK documentation for IE7.

At the same time, Mozilla is also hiring Software Engineering for the famous Firefox browser as well. This might be the step to cover the lost of a few key developers in Mozilla who have already joined Google in the past 6 months. At first, Ben Goodger & Darin Fisher in January, 2005. Then we saw Brian Ryner joined Google in March, 2005.

Looks like, more and more web browser developers are needed for each browser company to sustain their competitiveness. So, anyone interested in joining one of them. :)

p/s: Quite surprisingly, I saw a Get Firefox! link in the IE Blog. LoL =))
