Google Search has already permeated many people's lives so much so that when you ask someone to do an internet search, you might say "Do a google on ... ". I somehow do not see any worthy rival capable of giving google a run for their money in the search engine wars.
You are really right here. When it comes to branding message, confusion is the last thing you need if you are planning to take on a giant like Google. Why are they not getting that?
meh I don't know about micrsoft trying to take over google, google has just been too common of a search engine to dominate.
I dont think this would be a big success like google. I dont think anyone can beat google. Everyone is so much into google these days
It looks nice, but how Microsoft is going to perform with it? Microsoft had MSN, Live and now another SE. People use Google a lot because they optimize their website for it. It is also simple for most of the users. I do not see any reason why people will start to use this one instead Google. If people do not like Google, there are already many alternatives and they are not as popular as Google.
Oh no...not again! Some people just fail to learn from the mistakes of the past! I do not understand why they need to create confusion with regards to as simple thing as a brand name. First.... MSN=Live and now....kumo=Bing!!! They ought to learn to keep things....simple! Regards, RightMan
As much as we all hate Google, it will still not impact Google sales at all. The problem with Microhard is, that they do too much... Anything computer related that comes out on the market, Microhard must build an application for it... You do not see Google making Operating systems, Live Chat... Although maybe Google is taking after Microhard a bit by coming out with the Chrome browser and Orkut amongst other apps. Does Microhard have an online community site like Orkut or Facebook? Anyway, if you really want to have a good product, you must truly specialize in that particular niche. Not everything around as well... This is Microhards biggest downfall I believe.
All the new Search engines try to beat Google. What they need to learn is to "Compete" with features, quality and service that G has to offer !
This is google This is yahoo this is bing If microsoft merges with yahoo then there maybe a difference to give google the run for the money other wise this is how they stand.
I don't think it is too bad to be honest. It has quite a nice fresh feel to it, plus if you do a search the little icon which expands to reveal some of the content of the page, quite a nice touch. The results from searches are also quite good and accurate. So all in all not bad in my books, but to take on google it's going to need more work.
Looks like a rebrand of live search to me. So far, I haven't found anything new and revolutionary to tempt be away from Google. Especially from a UK perspective, where Google has such a large share of SE usage working anything else is pointless. Having said that, alternatives can be useful for my own searches if I'm looking for something specific, and tired of the same old same old from Google.
the only difference between BING and LIVE is the look of home page SERP almost SAME even the search box - same too but seems it is faster than Live, the Bing.
