I had a lot of fun writing the article on how Microsoft could beat Google at search over the weekend. It was pretty neat today to see that Live search integration with facebook is already starting. While it is still relatively hidden, Facebook today launched Search with Live Search! I’m pretty stoked about it because either way, if Google or Microsoft come out with it first, the semantic web is coming where one day all the hundreds of hours I spend on social networks teaching them about what I like or don’t like, will actually pay off when I perform a search on Google.
It’s still pretty hidden, but give it a try! just start typing into the search box, and notice the new “Search the Web” option.
Once you are done the search, you can select either “All Results” or only “Web Results”.
While there is nothing revolutionary going on yet, you have to figure that if Microsoft is successful in integrating Live Search with Facebook, the new search engine of the future will only be a few months away and we could quickly see Live Search gain incredible momentum vs the traditional method of searching.
I’ve talked to a few people at Microsoft over the last few months about Live Search and there are some pretty amazing brains working on this project. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the Live Search Camp in the next few months.
