Comments on: Microsoft now paying people to search http://www.mrdaz.com/microsoft-now-paying-people-to-search/ So much anger, so little time Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:20:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Richard Acreman http://www.mrdaz.com/microsoft-now-paying-people-to-search/comment-page-1/#comment-9393 Richard Acreman Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:23:15 +0000 http://www.mrdaz.com/?p=849#comment-9393 I completely agree, their search is pants and they'd be better placed just making it work. But I have to admit I've just signed up for it! Just got an e-mail from Microsoft SearchPerks - If you make 25 searches a day for the next 5 months they'll give you 2'500 airmiles. That's 1/16th of a free return flight from London to anywhere in North America - and we collect airmiles all over the place ~ so already have enough for one return each! I often just search for really obvious stuff, but of course if I want the answer to a problem I'll just use the Google toolbar above it instead.
