SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — BuscaPe.com Group (http://www.buscape.com/), which is owner of the largest Comparison Shopping Network in Latin America, and Microsoft MSN (NASDAQ:MFST) announce a partnership in Mexico that will benefit more than 12 million users who visit the Prodigy/MSN site. Starting now, they will be able to research and compare prices for products and services at more than 400 stores, as well as access a database of nearly two million products.

According to Romero Rodrigues, CEO and Founder of BuscaPe.com Inc. (http://www.buscape.com/), the agreement should ensure 50% growth in Mexico. "We will offer a safe, fast way to make an intelligent purchase through the Internet, while the ability to compare prices will provide the user the assurance of making a good purchase," he points out.

Okay, so MSN isn’t really expanding, but their partnership with BuscaPe.com does give them a little bit more visibility in the region, that’s for sure.

I’m not sure what it is though, MSN just doesn’t interest me. Am I confused about what they offer? It’s Microsoft Network right? Network of what? Why don’t I just go where I want, when I want on the real “network” of the Internet? Is it a portal? Doesn’t feel like it. Do I need it as a portal? Don’t think I do.

What am I missing? Is anyone missing it?
