The Next Version of Start.com is Out

The next version of MSN's experimental RSS reader is available at http://www.start.com/3. You have to solve the questions before getting access to the next version of the site but once that's done you get access to the juicy goodness.

This version of the site does a better job of letting you read posts inline. Another neat addition is the ability to drag and drop modules to arrange them on the page. Kudos to the the Steve Rider, Scott Isaacs and the rest of the folks who've worked on this.

I went to start.com/3 and answered all the questions, but all I see is a search form. Where's the new aggregator?

You need to have Javascript enabled. Also if nothing is displayed except a search box, make sure to click on "show" in the upper left.

I think I prefer start.com/1/ - /3/ is a bit weird when I click a link and a popup apears in which the items are expanded. Also there's no longer an expand/collapse all option. Of course it could be that these are firefox incompatibilities (haven't tried it with IE yet)

More interesting than the aggregator was the last question though (solve "2 pi + 2! = 3x - sin 2") - pretty cool search.msn.com can do stuff like that (as well as equations with multiple answers like "x^2 + 5x + 10 = 16" for instance)
