The Other Search Engines

MSN is using my slightly outdated website description from my DMOZ listing in their search results. Are they somehow teaming up or is this a spidering issue? I know Google does for certain search terms, but they use DMOZ for their directory. What is with MSN? Anyone know?

I've just checked my websites and I saw MSN indexed them with different titles and descriptions from those in Dmoz. Are you sure you didn't usethe same description elswhere.

cheers

No, I hadn't used it elsewhere. It is a 6 year old description.

Maybe MSN is just copying Google. Wouldn't be the first time another search engine tried to be more Googlelike.

Could be, but for what reason? To create a directory using ODP data?
