Question by Sarah M: Coolest web search thing ever!? Have you seen it?
Ok, maybe it’s not that life-changing, and maybe this isn’t really a question, but have you seen it?

Usually I’m a Google searcher. But today, my friend suggest I tried the new Live Search, just to see if it’s good enough. I was bored, and said ok, I would try Live Search for a day.

I didn’t really expect anything cool.

But Live Search is pretty neat.

ONE major thing I saw that I really like is when you search for traffic in your city. Like “Los Angeles traffic” or “Chicago commute” you get a real map, right in the search results, and it works interactively. It really does.

For an example, look at this: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=houston+commute&go=Search&form=QBRE

Isn’t that cool? I thought it was.

Another neat thing is video search.

Search for a video, and if you hover over a thumbnail image, you can see a 15-30 second preview, right on the page. Without going to another link.

It’s really cool. Give it a try.

So what do you think?
