i-Dialogue Site Maps were launched last year based on Google's Site Map specification (see an example site map here) as part of our SEO toolset.

Now Microsoft and Yahoo have announced support for the Site Map specification making it even easier to publish new landing/web pages that are immediately crawled and indexed by the leading search engines.

We'll likely update our i-Dialogue portal provisioning process to register each site's XML map with all the leading search engines at once. It's great to see Yahoo and MSFT leverage this existing specification instead of reinventing their own.
