Microsoft Gets in the Game with /web

Microsoft recently unveiled their aggregator site called Microsoft/web, joining the likes of Techmeme and Google News.

According to Webpronews:

So far, there seems to be a lack of quantity for new content. You can look at any category and view the listings by date and easily see posts dating back to August within the first 20 results. It’s clear that many new popular and important tech stories are absent, but like Cooney says, they know the content isn’t where it needs to be yet, so I’m not going to judge it too harshly at this early stage.

To which Lauren Cooney from GPM Web Platform & Standards, Microsoft, replied:

“-We’re constantly looking for new sites to aggregate content from, and we’re going to be adding the digg/technology page and a few others. If you have suggestions, let me know and I’ll add, as long as it’s relevant for ppl working on the web. And yes, we’re going to be pumping this full of more relevant content too. I hate a stale web page as much as anyone.
-if you check out the product tab, you can actually see that we’ve streamlined MSFT’s web stack installation and provided a bunch of easy to install products that are relevant to web developers too – for free.”
