MSN Launches 'Search and Win' Contest

Apparently, the latest search engine figures shook up Google's competitors, since it would appear that Yahoo! isn't the only search engine looking to bribe users to use it's service.

Now, Ed Oswald writes on BetaNews that:

MSN has come up with a new plan to draw users away from Google: free stuff. The company launched a contest on Monday that will give users a chance to win prizes simply by using the service's search engine. Over $1 million in prizes will be available during the months of February, March and April.

Prizes include gift certificates from American Express, Target, REI and Nike. MSN will also be giving away Canon PowerShot digital cameras, HP Digital Entertainment Centers, and Creative Zen Sleek MP3 players.
