- It's cool they're starting to cooperate more to make it easier for web users. It's like the Mozilla + Microsoft feed icon thing.

- Wow, Microsoft is truly leading the software industry. I mean they're cooperating with almost every company they compete with.
Awesomeness of Microsoft!
The companies are adopting Google's Sitemaps protocol, available since June 2005, that allows Web site owners to manually feed their pages to Google and to check whether their sites have been crawled. Web site owners have had to follow similar processes at each of the other major search engines separately.
Now, Web site owners will be able to go to one place for alerting the search engines to their Web pages, something they have been requesting for some time, said Tim Mayer, director of product management at Yahoo Search.
