It seems like Live Search adds a new feature everytime I log on.

You want know why I switched from Google search to Live Search? Quite simply… I was bored. Google may a great basic search engine… but who really wants that? I love it when a new feature just sort of pops up.

Such is the case with a new feature that I'm going to call “Live Previews” as I can’t find anything  anywhere on the web about it.

As you can see in the screen shot above, MS has quietly rolled a new feature into Live Search.  When you mouse over a result in any given search. A small window pops up to the right and gives you a basic preview of the pages content. This is really helpful if you are speed skimming the results.

If anyone knows about this feature, feel free to send me a message with more info

It is finally here folks…

Wave 3 of MS’s Live services are upon us. The List of updates are staggering to say the least. With just about everything getting an update.  I’m still discovering some of the features and inner workings of  this huge update.

Home

I really like this new home page, as MS adds more partners for the “web activities” portion. It will get even better.

The only thing I don’t like is the mandatory MSN feed, I don’t use MSN so it does me no good (note to MS, let users pick their news provider)

Profile

This sorta reminds me of Facebook… That's a good thing though. This service allows you to bring your Online\Digital together under one roof.

Now just add a Zune option to the profile and I will be happy.

I haven’t had much of  chance to try this out yet, but it looks like something I will often.

So far this update looks great, Now I’ve just got to get out there and play around with it, I’ll post more as I dig deeper.
