I like start.com because of its simplistic design and compatibility with Firefox. I'd love to see more MSN sites done in a similar fashion as well as better integration among all these great new MSN services.

also, it's a bit misleading to refer to start as an rss aggregator, which presets some expectations such as the aforementioned.

we alluded to this in the interview, by describing start as:
bloglines meet my yahoo meet konfabulator - we don't want be just an entry point or a feed manager we'd like to be your personalized one-stop shop for the web.
 
thanks, sanaz.

MSN is slow in moving. MSN reminds me of a site built by more than one company. MSN does not strive for simplicity (looked at the new Shopping site?) but instead thinks more componentization (Passport is not on the same page but on a separate domain) and of features, as well as advertising. Many features confuse users. The web is not for overloaded pages. The web is for simple and nice looking services (Google maps?). The web is a fast market and MSN takes too longto think the details but forgets that what matters is the look, the simple urls (not spaces.msn.com/members/mylongname) and consistency.

Actually, start.com looks ans works great. Like you, I am a massive Google fan, and have come to dislike MS websites in the past, specially Hotmail. But this is something completely different. User friendly, alternative to IE friendly (which is a big step).

Like it, like it, like it.

My website (although not a 100% done yet) is 100% AJAX. Only one page load, and then the content is fetched by Ajax components. Very, very cool stuff, although I say so myself :o

Again ... please hire me Big Smile

     The idea is great. MSN have to think about such

things in nearing future. Simple and neat.

When 2 people can do so much then MSN is 

missing something.

All the Best to Sanaz and Steve.

Thanks

Arun.

thanks, sanaz.

I would so pay real money for an AJAX RSS aggregator. Blogline UI bugs the heck out of me.

Edit: I guess that would require some server-side storage.

There seems to be a bug in their RSS Feed reader.  It doesn't parse Dave Winer's titles correctly.

Just a thought.

p.s. Hey Scoble?  Any idea why you didn't pick up this post in your any of your egoFeeds?  Pubsub or Technorati?  I was sure I submitted my site to each of those services to be spidered.

Did Microsoft buy the start.com domain name or did they own it from day one?

It's a nice project, but I don't see it's future if it stays something like this. There is stuff like this around, friends of mine use it local on there pc. Sure it is nice to bring this to a larger public, so my mom/dad can use it, but will they stay using it?

The 'WOW AMAZING' factor is missing, there is nothing inside me that tells me I need to replace google.com for the start.com homepage.

Anyway keep the good work up!

Edit oops: I just noticed the START preview image is a button =) This is better I can add my own feeds.
