MSN Search also has made a change on their bot. They basically have renamed them so we can finally differenciate each crawler - Here is the new MSN list of bots according to representative MSNdude on WW:

  • The MSN Shopping bot is msnbot-products
  • The MSN News bot is msnbot-news
  • The MSN Image Search bot is msnbot-media (understand it is for Multi-Media similarly to Yahoo’s MM spider)
  • The MSN Search bot is still just plain msnbot

No mention of a crawling behavior was made, seems to be a simple renaming thing. Everyone wants the webmaster community on their side, Y!, Microsoft..and Google isn’t the last.
