MSN Search Provided DOJ with "Absolutely No Personal Data"
57 Experts in Redmond Learn that Microsoft and MSN Search, Despite Public Opinion to the Contrary, Did No Harm

57 bloggers/online experts gathered in Redmond yesterday at the "MSN Search Champs" event were invited to discuss with senior MSN management the recent news and concerns around the data MSN Search, Yahoo and AOL provided to the US government.

The entire situation is discussed in this exclusive podcast, in which Fred Oliveira, Dion Hinchcliffe, Joshua Porter, and Alex Barnett - all Web 2.0 Workgroup members - feature.

The podcast was recorded in room 2205 of the W Hotel in Seattle, WA, on Wednesday, January 26th.
