It's Coming...

What's coming? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Monday morning, 1 p.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. Pacific, MSN has announced an important conference call. I'll be blogging during it, so expect a post at 1:02 p.m. with the big news. I'm going to need some ominous Brukheimer-movie music playing...

The small details from the MSN PressPass site:

Oh, and seriously, if you have been reading this blog for a while, you probably already know what's coming.

Scoble says Channel 9 will have videos.

UPDATE: Scoble, talking on his blog about WinFS, the advanced, searchable file system that is coming for Windows in several years, and asking why we don't have something that "show[s] us patterns in... my hard drive?"

Actually, on Monday, we might just have an answer for that too. The MSN search team is announcing something and they have opened up their teleconference to the public. Also, I'll have some videos up on Monday. The upcoming week is going to be a big week for the search industry.

Do I have to draw a freakin' picture?
