MicroISVs and microsites: an experiment
We have decided to try something new (to us) and launch two microsites related to Java logging and .NET logging. Both websites should be useful starting points for developers looking for more information about available logging frameworks and links to (mainly open source) tools, articles and tutorials. We will be adding additional resources to the [...]

New Gurock Software forum
I finally found the time to install a new forum software for the Gurock Software website. We used our own custom forum before (which, in retrospect, wasn’t a very smart idea) but wanted to get a more advanced forum with user accounts, email notifications, search and so on.

MSDN Search now powered by MSN
Most people probably know this already, but it was new to me: the MSDN search is now powered by Windows Live (aka MSN Search). My Microsoft ISV buddy told me this (Hi K. ) and he is right about the increased speed and search quality.
I tried some search terms and got much better results [...]

Why I don’t use MSN/Yahoo Search
The quality of Google’s search results are steadily declining. I have been testing the Yahoo and MSN search for some queries in the last weeks and I have to say that they often have better results. I’m not sure if this is the case because Google’s algorithms are not as good as the Yahoo/MSN ones [...]
