will live beat google ?

do you guys think that live will ever beat google in search ?.

 

hmm that would be very optimistic if i'd say "yes" .for me its something like
"Will Barmuda win Cricket world cup 07 ?"

 

Live has a bit more of an advantage that Barmuda... lol

 

No because everyone is obsessed with Google being the best even though it churns out thousands of useless results. Id o find myself using Live more because of the built-in search box in IE7.

 

no chance. they will never gain back the market share that google currently holds.

 

I agree with swift. Ity would be difficult for them to ever get that market share back. Although in the net world you never say never

 

Atleast not in the next five years ..after that you never know

 

Never for me atleast

 

While "Google" has become sort of a household name and an alternative name for "search", I have yet to find another person in my social circle who knows what Live.com is about.... so it looks like a really really steep uphill climb for MS.

 

Some experts said that MSN will overtake Google in the next 5 years.

The reason is that with every PC installed, there's an IE. With every IE, the default homepage will be MSN.

Not everyone is search engine savvy, so MSN tends to grab market share in this manner.

 

But I think MSN was there in IE since long time back. Still not much impact on Google Almost everyone, whether he has a PC or not, knows about google as a search engine

 

live search brings very little traffic even if my site rank well on their serp. but i see some graphical improvement. i like the new design.

 

Well, i don't think so because google is much more popular and better
I like new design too, but it's not enough!

 

Live? Do you mean Yahoo!

I always thought they had more of search share than live...

 

IMO.,
live.com should make its query url simple like: live.com/search?q=Digital point
The page load time should be faster and the design should be simple

 

No i don't think it will beat google. At least not in the next 5-15 years lol, google is a very powerful company so its going to be pretty hard.

- Prilep

 

i'd say the quality of customers is a little higher, i think it will just all be shared by google, overture and adcenter

 

Noo.... Live can't beat google. They'll try, try and try ... Keep on trying... But I suspect Wikipedia... They're going to launch a search engine ...

 

So far what i think from their {Microsoft} behavior is that they just want to keep their presence on internet .. and they know they cannot do anything good.

 

It is very difficult but not IMPOSSIBLE
