Joint support for the Sitemap Protocol

We're thrilled to tell you that Yahoo! and Microsoft are joining us in
supporting the Sitemap protocol.

As part of this development, we're moving the protocol to a new
namespace, www.sitemaps.org, and raising the version number to 0.9. The
sponsoring companies will continue to collaborate on the protocol and
publish enhancements on the jointly-maintained site sitemaps.org.

If you've already submitted a Sitemap to Google using the previous
namespace and version number, we'll continue to accept it. If you
haven't submitted a Sitemap before, check out the documentation on
www.sitemaps.org for information on creating one. You can submit your
Sitemap file to Google using Google webmaster tools. See the
documentation that Yahoo! and Microsoft provide for information about
submitting to them.

If any website owners, tool writers, or webserver developers haven't
gotten around to implementing Sitemaps yet, thinking this was just a
crazy Google experiment, we hope this joint announcement shows that the
industry is heading in this direction. The more Sitemaps eventually
cover the entire web, the more we can revolutionize the way web
crawlers interact with websites. In our view, the experiment is still
underway.

This is what Roy was referring to yesterday.

My information tells me that the Microsoft Search engine is currently
NOT accepting sitemaps in any form.

Please, provide the URL where MSN will accept a sitemap in any format.

Does anyone think that the joint site map will be any advantage over a
regular site map with all pages already indexed?

You mean, in an XML format or any format at all? We're talking about
the protocol agreed at sitemaps.org - you didn't know, a pro like you?

I have yet to check, but I suppose they will in the future?

This is precisely what I was referring to.

All this nonsense and double talk eats up my time with nothing to show
for it. Google's offical position is always politically correct
double-talk. In the end, all the search engines do what they darn well
want to do, when they want to do it.

Everything else is a complete waste of your time, IMHO.

Sitebases, the next protocol after Sitemaps
It can save the time and press for the search engine, also for the
websites.
It can bring new search engine that named Search Engine 2.0 .
Using Sitebases protocol, will save 95% bandwidth above. It is another
sample for long tail theory.
In this protocol, I suggested that all search engine can share their
Big Sitebases each other, so the webmaster just need to submit their
Sitebases to one Search Engine.
And I suggested that all search engines can open their search API for
free and unlimited using.
