Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in Semphonic's first annual Web Analytics X Change in Napa Valley, California.
Microsoft's Live Search overhaul is, to understate it, aggressive, and their presentation of it dazzling to the point of euphoric. Their aim: To reclaim territory thought by some to be irretrievably lost to Google. And they believe they've done it, at least technologically. All that remains to be seen is if the searching public will respond. And that's a big if.
Some people refuse to accept that they’re aging. Google’s okay with the idea; it just refuses to age at a reliable rate. But the search giant has decided that today, September 27th, is its ninth birthday.
I keep a list of books and stories that I’d like to read, and, thanks to an update to Google Book Search, I believe my list is about to get a lot longer; the Google Book Search homepage now essentially gives suggestions every time you visit it.
Microsoft has updated its Live Search in an effort to provide users with more relevant results and to further compete with Google and Yahoo and capture a bigger piece of the search market.
Microsoft has issued a major update to Live Search, and the Live Search Team claims that, compared to the old version, the new one is “relevant, faster and easier to use.” Fair enough, but the question remains: is it more relevant, faster, and easier to use than Google? The answer: no.
