Please explain to me what makes my personalized live.com homepage different/better than my Google.com personalized homepage. They each give me the same information (news, email, stocks, etc...). I'm a big fan of Google, but am "willing to experiment" for the right reasons. What are the perks?
I haven't tried live. My brother uses Live so i have seen him use it. It don't look too bad but for some reason i just love the simplicity of Google's personalised page.
well i have used both... interface of live.com is better...but google personalized homepage is fast...and you can integrate google reader+there are lots of modules which you can add! And i guess live.com copied the idea from google's personalized homepage!
when MSN starts sending traffic to any of my sites...I'll start using their services..... PS.....have you checked out the new live local. It has way more detail than google earth
I like the live.com interface. I do use google.com at times, but only for checking for SERP's, PR, LinkPop..etc. (same as I do for Yahoo). MSN is (imho) clearly the leader in the innovative and updating in the SE sector at this point. Not to mention google appears to have biases based on politics.. sounds odd, actually..it is odd. Not sure why google would do that to themselves and sacrifice business??? regardless, Live/MSN will hopefully continue to catch up to google. the industry needs a 2 or 3 way tie to keep it honest imo.
I finally decided to check out live.com and was happy to see one of my sites is ranking quite well, especially compared to google. But otherwise it's not as useful as google (in comparison, google has a lot of great services).
I use google but Live is really good to my sites, with the keywords on google for one of my sites Im on page 30ish on live Im page 1 number 1 so I am switching to live from now on.....Show me love and I switch...easy as that....haha
Oddly enough, I have found myself moving away from both Live and Google recently and using Yahoo - I had some searches where only Yahoo gave proper answers in the first few pages. Still, I have noticed that the search results from Live are getting better
google best for me. im using google and google send me daily 1000+ unique hits so i love it. Regards, Mustafa
My opinion... Live is loved by webmasters because it lists everyone and their mother's sites on the first page. Google is loved by real web surfers because it provides a simple interface with relevant search results.
I don't think people will move to Live.com search overnight. Google has a ton of mindshare so users will only move to Live.com if Live.com offers other tangible benefits... but if I were Google, I would be very scared.
