MSNBC.com today begins its test of the MSNBC Newsbot, a new way to give consumers personalized online news powered by the latest MSN® search technology. For a limited time starting today, consumers may participate in testing this first-of-its-kind "personal newsstand" service that automatically taps user preferences to search for news from more than 4,800 sources. "We've put the strongest assets of MSN and NBC News to work for consumers with MSNBC.com Newsbot, the only news search engine on the Web that offers personalized news using advanced MSN Search technology," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of MSN Information Services and Merchant Platform. "By providing a variety of ways to personalize the service, people have more control over how and where they get their news, which we're confident will convince people to return every day, much as they would to a neighborhood newsstand."
