Recently when i was browsing through the webmasterworld.com thread I came across the thread where the integration of search in MSN messenger was discussed, This thread completely went in a wrong direction and turned into a google bashing thread, It is so weird to see the number of webmasters who hate google these days, Are they just webmasters or SEOs, I feel most of them are professional search engine optimizers frustrated on seeing their new sites and new links sandboxed and many of their quality optimized sites not ranking,
This seem to be a common hatred amoung SEOs these days towards google, I personally use google for all my needs and am happy with what google does for me,
Check that thread here,

Is it right that SEOs hate google, Is this what google want to achieve from their new mission of sandboxing sites, Please feel free to comment on this,

but we think it's one whose time has come.
At the most basic level, this is
just a matter of pointing to a video instead of an MP3 file.
Instead of
For many publishers, that's all
it takes. The beauty of this is that there's existing infrastructure for
handling simple enclosures. Many RSS readers already consume enclosures just
fine.
In the very near future the Yahoo! Video Search crawler will support
indexing video enclosures in RSS feeds.
