Microsoft Upgrading its Search Engine

Microsoft might be rebranding its search engine currently called “Live” – as “Bing” as part of a range of steps to make its search technology more appealing to consumers.

Microsoft’s inability to organically increase its share in search was the key driver behind the company’s pursuit last year of Yahoo Inc. (YAHOO). Many investors think Microsoft needs to tap a much bigger audience in order to make its searches more relevant and to attract more advertisers.

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer unveiled the new search engine at the All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif. The conference is sponsored by the All Things Digital Web site, which, like this newswire, is owned by News Corp. (NWSA). He also said that Windows 7, the next iteration of Microsoft’s ubiquitous operating system, might see faster adoption than Vista, the most current version.

Bing looks different from its predecessor and rivals’ search engines, with search results displayed on the left hand side of the Web page.

Bing targets four distinct categories of search: shopping, local, travel and health.

Each search will launch a more detailed range of search prompts by category, which attempt to narrow down the consumer’s choices.

Bing also introduces more non-textual content, such as video, to its user interface, and information such as customer service numbers more prominent in search results, and allows customers, by hovering over a search result, to preview a site. Introducing new categories to the search engine could help advertisers reach consumers more efficiently.

Microsoft wanted to be better at Internet search but conceded that it might take years to gain market share, even with the new search product. A strong consumer brand for search was a good starting point.

 

Birthday Wishes

 

happy-birthday-talent
Yesterday it’s my Friend Bala’s (bolavayu) birthday. We usually celebrate his birthday as Talent day in our college.

Oh! Don’t think he is very much talented. We kept this for special purpose. Which is very much opposite of talent?

This day, I and my other friends had a plan, to wish him through SMS. We thought to send more than 500 sms or even 1000 sms wishes to him. And it worked out well. He gets annoyed with these much of sms. wow!, Our plan worked out very well.

 
We had a great fun with him…

Hope he is blessed with all the happiness.

Google Squared-New search tools for Google search platform

google-squaredGoogle unveiled search tools for its Google search platform which includes Google Search Options and Google Squared. And also quirky planetarium-type application for Google Android phones called SkyMap.
Google’s search products vice president Marissa Mayer told that Google’s Searchology event in Mountain View. Google was looking to make its search tools better, more specific and more sophisticated than ever before certainly a Google prerogative as the search giant looks to maintain its heavyweight status and put even more distance between itself and the competition.

Another new features is Google Squared which search, creates a spreadsheet of information on a particular topic, allowing the user a visual and line-by-line comparison of various results. Drawing together a broad collection of comparable data points, not just listing search results, is a key characteristic of WolframAlpha, the new search tool created by Mathematica idea man Stephen Wolfram. Google seems to fear competition from WolframAlpha about as much as it did Cuil, the sputtering search engine launched last summer by ex-Google employees. But Google’s interest in a similar approach to WolframAlpha also sends a clear message to potential Google challengers that they’d better get even more creative as Mountain View looks to stay ahead.

Google’s new tools also might say a lot about what it perceives its market-share competition to be. Google Search Options, for example, allows users to “slice and dice” data according to different metrics, including how recently certain page results were updated. The flavor there? Realtime. And realtime, as everybody knows is something associated with platforms like Twitter and other social networking services. Last month, Google-to-buy-Twitter rumorl was churning at full speed, one of the key selling points, observers noted at the time, was that having a Twitter-like platform in its stable would push Google toward a realtime search engine capability.
The research firm Hitwise submitted search engine traffic data for April that suggests Google’s lead in the market continues to widen. According to Hitwise, nearly 73 percent of all online searches in the U.S. in April were through Google. Yahoo clocked in for April at 16.27 percent, Microsoft’s MSN Search claimed 5.68 percent and Ask.com claimed 3.95 percent. Hitwise also noted in its report that longer search queries are becoming more popular with the average search now employing three words or more – key piece of information to consider as Google and its rivals continue to tweak their search engines.

Google’s Android mobile and netbooks

google-androidIt is predicted that Google’s Android mobile operating system could be running on 18 to 20 devices by the end of the year.

According to Andy Rubin (Google’s senior director for mobile platforms), about 18 to 20 phones from eight to nine manufacturers will come with Android OS installed on them by the end of the year.

Android will continue to be open source. Manufacturers will have the option of installing android “obligation-free” onto their devices, which means the user will have access to the OS but not Google Apps such as Gmail, Google doc, etc.

A second option for manufacturers that sign a distribution agreement with Google will allow them to pre-install Google Apps onto their devices.

The third option knows as the Google Experience opens up the manufacturer’s devices to Google Apps and the Android Market. Phones which fall under the “Google Experience” will also be branded with the Google logo on the physical handset.

A number of companies have announced plans to roll out Android-equipped smartphones. HTC is currently preparing Google Android smartphones for the Chinese and Canadian markets for a June rollout.

On top of this, Android is also being ported onto mini-notebooks which also known as “netbooks,” as an operating system. With research firm IDC estimating that netbook shipments will grow from 11.4 million in 2008 to 22 million in 2009 hence the market represents a potentially massive growth area for Android.
