That is what Windows Live has done, after living in Beta for a while, it has boarded the plane and flown to another place and a new life. A place called Live. So its official, Windows Live has said goodbye to Beta. Microsoft’s Live services are now live (small ‘L”), believe it or not. Live search will also replace MSN search as the Microsoft search of choice. Anyone want to bet that MSN in its entirety won’t be around much longer, or will be rebranded? That would be my guess.

Neither have anything on Flickr's interestingness. Image search needs human input even more than web search. Google is trying to use their little Google Image Labeler game to get ahead by having people tag their images. If Microsoft and Google want to get better at image search they need to first identify somehow the top photographers shooting and rank their output higher than the results from people like hotelbooker.com. Without a serious social photo network like Yahoo! has with Flickr they are going to perpetually be behind in this area. Perhaps they need to buy or build their own flickr or perhaps they just need to figure out how best to organize and rank the various photobloggers out there (photoblogs.org?), etc. but the current offering at least in image search is subpar.

No bad at all. At least they are searching most of the major video sites and coming up with very relevant results. Can you say that for Google's Video Search? No, Google only indexes what videos are on Google Video. How open and progressive. Have you looked at the Windows Live Beta Video Search? No bad at all.
