Tech Preview using Yahoo cache?

    I checked out the new tech preview cache option and was returned the following.


    MSN CACHE

    Anyone else find it weird that it is a Yahoo email address at the bottom of that page. I should explain this a little better. Using MSN's new tech preview if you do a search and have a look at the results, you will see a cache button. Click it and you will see the above page.

    ---What are you talking about infiniterb?

    NC, That is an interesting find, not sure why they have that.... Hotmail probably doesnt have enough storage for the emails... lol

    The original pic that was posted was too small to see the email address.

    And I tried to do a whois on the domain name, but nothing came up on whois.org. It came back saying that I could still register the domain. Which is even more bizzare.

    Edit: I've got like 5 gmail addresses I can give MSN if they need the space :)

    You're probably using MSIE on XP, it automatically resizes jpeg's displayed directly, so they fit in the window, click the button at bottom right to resize to orig size.

    It's not doing it right now, or I would post the screenshot, but I got a "coming soon" page from hostway.com but w/o that email addy. That's too good.

    Nah, wasn't that. Hovered over it and it was still too tiny and the resize button in the lower right never came up. I think NC reupped the image.

    The image is fine now, good find, NC.

    They are also using a live counter from www.livecounters.com

    This seems so amature to me. I wonder what the heck is going on.
