Picsearch announced today that it has entered into an agreement to supply the new MSN Search service with image search services.
Picsearch already provides the pictures seen when you conduct an image search at Ask Jeeves or Lycos Europe. The addition of MSN Search, is a big coup for the company.
Nils Andersson, CEO of Picsearch, said "I am very excited that Picsearch's technology will be used to find images on the Web for this worldwide service. MSN shares our desire to be at the forefront of the net search market. Picsearch will continue providing the highest quality image search service in the world. New features are always being developed."
Adding a comprehensive database of images is just one of many crucial steps MSN Search must take, if they are to compete with Google and Yahoo.
"The new MSN Search service offers a large index to help consumers quickly and easily find the information that is of interest to them," said Justin Osmer, product manager at MSN. "MSN is proud to team up with Picsearch to offer a vast index of high-quality images that are relevant to our consumers' queries."
