Has Microsoft Found the Answer to Google? Search Me
Thu, Mar 5th, 2009 |
I saw it on Twitter so it must be true: Microsoft is relaunching/rebranding its Live Search service.
Based on the strength of a single Tweet ["Played today with Live search upcoming (to be rebranded) launch pre-beta. I like the new features and UX so far"] from Powerset CEO Barney Pell, and a kinda/sorta/almost tweet-confirmation from a Microsoft "MVP" named Karenyo, the LiveSide blog has concluded that big changes are afoot at Live Search.
