Microsoft goes 'LIVE' PDF  | Print |  E-mail
Wednesday, 08 March 2006
Microsoft goes 'LIVE' with their new search site live.com. So I decided to play around with this a bit. I have seen in in action for a while at Microsofts sandbox site where they have some cool and some not-so-cool tools. But the new live.com version has some interesting differences.

  1. Their is a top scroller (goes left/right) that allows you to determine the verbose-ness of the search results.  A PLUS!
  2. Feeds - You can search as you normally would but only return RSS Feeds.  A PLUS!
  3. All results returned in one window - This has plus and minuses.  The plus is I like all the results on one page, the minus is I do not like that its an active-x control  that only allows me to use their navigation scroll bar + hotkeys.
Those are the main differences.  I also saw no relevancy differences between live.com and search.msn.com.

So go give it a spin and let me know what you think and don't forget to try out the Windows Live Ideas

Found this useful Google Adword Competition tool. Seems like it would be useful to find out who is bidding on your keywords with adwords. Also shows how long they have done it so you can most likely find profitable (conversion) words at least for the competition.

This site is pretty useful as it shows how the competition is performing for backlinks, keyword phrase occurrence, pages indexed, all in anchor, all intitle, all in text. Quite nice to look at the competition.

Microsoft Virtual Earth Team Launches Street-Side Drive-by PDF  | Print |  E-mail
Monday, 06 March 2006
I found this new beta site by microsoft. Virtual Earth Team Launches Street-Side Drive-by It's pretty cool. Not sure I'd actually use this (Even out of beta) but the novelty of it makes it fun. I recall amazon or someone (I forget) who was going to do all stores drive-by for a shopping vertical search site. I really like this idea and would love to see it in say HAWAII or other highly chosen vacation destinations. Would make deciding places I want to go see/visit a lot more well planned out. But for now who cares about Seattle? I guess San Francisco is useful and I think I will go test drive the city now. Enjoy !

His quote is "What we're saying is that in six months' time we'll be more relevant in the U.S. market place than Google". Who thinks this will happen? Not sure I do! The full Reuters article
