Welcome to MSN Live Product Upload Beta
It seems every month a new CSE rolls out, but every once and a while something is worth taking notice of immediately. Well, welcome to once and a while because MSN has released what appears to be a shot across the bow of Google Product Search (aka GoogleBase, fka Froogle ).
MSN will not be charging for this service and it should quickly become one of the top free comparison engines in the market.
