MSN Launching Answer to Google Labs

According to MediaPost, MSN has launched its own research and development group.

For MSN, the adCenter Incubation Lab–adLab for short–can be seen as an answer to Google Labs, the forge for many of the search giant’s recent product launches.

AdLab will operate from two offices; one in Redmond, and one in Bejing. Each office will have 22 researchers and will work on roughly 40 projects at a time.
