Microsoft will donate if you use Live Search

Microsoft recently announced the launch of two new programs to help children in need. All that you have to do, to help them is to try Live Search on one of the “click for the cause” sites, and each search you do will add more money to Microsoft’s donation. The two organizations Microsoft is working with in these programs are ninemillion.org and Team Seattle.
Ninemillion.org is a United Nations led campaign providing education and sports programs for nine million refugee youth around the world, and Team Seattle is the most successful motorsports charity in the US, racing to benefit Seattle’s Children’s Hospital.
You can find more information about the programms on the Live Search blog.

Yahoo! Search Index Update

Priyank Garg from Yahoo! posted the following on the Yahoo! Search Blog:

“We are in the process of rolling out some changes to our search results. As usual, you may be seeing some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages that are included in the index throughout this process. This update began last night and should be complete very soon.”

I’m seeing a lot of spammy results right now - hope the update is not over yet!
