<p>As well as MSN releasing their Search API's, MSN's own start.com has also released an API, which I think is built with the ATLAS framework that Microsoft are trying to get ready for the release of ASP.net v2.<p />Why do I say ATLAS? because over on <a href="http://start.com/developer/default.htm">http://start.com/developer/default.htm</a>, you will see a link to an ATLAS runtime overview <a href="http://start.com/developer/atlasruntime.aspx">http://start.com/developer/atlasruntime.aspx</a>.<p />All of this requires a bit more investigating :) It is really interesting because it appears that it is all about creating components called Gadgets that JavaScript RSS consumers.... I think. All of which have to be hosted on your own server. I don't know if it has to be IIS specific though.<p />One thing I have noticed from the "Getting Started" is that you need to enable cross domain data sources in Internet Explorer, whichI have already talked about in an earlier post [<a href="http://www.kinlan.co.uk/2005/08/minor-problem-with-my-ajax-application.html" title="http://www.kinlan.co.uk/2005/08/minor-problem-with-my-ajax-application.html">here</a>].<p />I need to look in to this too :) I am going to have a busy weekend!<p /></p>
