Microsofts response to Google
 

Check it out www.live.com

Pretty fucking quick search engine. Much faster then google.

I think it's pretty cool. :thumbsup

to piss them off..everyone search for google over and over..lol

It is very fast, but looks kinda messed up in FF.

it is messed up in FF...way to go microsoft

Firefox Users
Firefox support is coming soon. Please be patient :-)


Still in beta..

works fine in FF for me.

Looks like they just used the old cached links from the MSN search engine...for the sponsored adult listings anyway.

There is a sponsored listing at the top and bottom of the page when you search for porn that has night surf on it.

I remember back in the day when Night Surf provided all of the adult SE listings for MSN.

fast indeed and nice domain
not sure bout design just yet
i like "web/news/rss" switch though

the news/rss freature rocks

i have tried in vain to contact clickcash forever...no response ever :(

Unfortunately most surfers remember Night Surf too, the ammount of traffic on an adult term on msn is peanuts compaired to the same on google or even yahoo (allthough it does convert well).

I cant wait for that to change.

faster than google?

Tim is not very good about getting back to people...lol

I thought of this concept 3 years ago.

Who says a search engine should dictate what a surfer is looking for when it is the surfer that knows what he is looking for and just needs a catalog of likeness based on things the surfer may already know.

Surfers just need a method to selectively choose and store content they wish to see and as a result the info stored peruses the net for the surfers interests based on his or her individual profile.

Right now search engines operate quite the opposite way.

I thought it was a brilliant concept.

We used to get a ton of sign ups from Night surf.

Needless to say people laughed at my idea.

its quite fast indeed, and less shit spammy results like the ones you get in google...

Seems like you were talking to the wrong people. :upsidedow

They are using Ajax.

And their site sucks with Firefox:

"Firefox Users
Firefox support is coming soon. Please be patient :-)"

Looks pretty slick to me. Easy to add rss feeds, for sure.

The results load really fast, nice site!

wow, i'm impressed from my boys accross the lake

great domain name!

YARGH! That's bad ass. I like the moveable blocks.

That is pretty quick.

Looks interesting but the search results were garbage.

Brad

Of course it is, M$ wants you to use IE.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Good point.

I got a "SERVER IS TOO BUSY" on my first search lol...!

i got it on my second search. Its fast , but google never says "server busy"

hmm, good domain, wonder if there leasing it, or buying it now?

Not reg. to MS, but dns points there.

yeah, it's great. thanks a lot! it really is faster.

fast but still needs lots of work
click a result and then go back
you start on the search page again

fast ? wtf
it barely loads for me.

i wont use it. Micosoft has enough money

I've been getting some very nice hits for MSN lately. I hope this gets huge!

and what the hell was their point?
we have enough search engines already.
thats like we need another tgp!
they will get some traffic, but they will not take down google.

looks nice .. i'll stay with google though .. for now :)

I would stay with google too, thanks anyway.

I made a few tests on results... and the best ranking sites in many cases are those SE RSS / Googleads pages. Poor SERPs will doom any search site. If the people find nothing but shit, they will move on.

Google takes that risk now, with their "we won't remove anything, we will teach our systems to get rid of spam" approach that has many result pages polluted with spam, redirects, and toolbar installers.

If this is everything microsoft has been working on, well, this is going to be a windows 3.1 type deal.

Alex

Google is well exposed, i think they will need much more to come close!

if it sucks or doesnt Live.com domain name rox

damn their stats on alexa went up 26,000%

I doubt that'll be any competition to google

Hell no ... I like google and I want them to stay on top ... they develop so many usefull new things at the same time it's just incredible

Cyber Garbage

search for "incompetent idiot" on it (or on Google) - I get the top result on both !!!

I get 2 different results here

"they will get some traffic, but they will not take down google."

Dont make me laugh - Microsoft can and WILL SHIT ON GOOGLE.

You clearly have no real idea of the sheer size of Microsoft do you - poor boy.

Ajax at its finest. Google will turn to Ajax soon, too. Mark my words.

extremly interesting results

for all terms regarding our program andemployee's we are ranked #1 but if you search for say vimax ... you get all affilate sites

but if you use google ....we are number 1 ?
