First images and videos and latest news, now flash content too. Does it intend to become a flash search engine also ? Google has greatly improved flash indexing ability.

Microsoft’s live search isn’t showing any positive sign compared to yahoo and Google search. Now Microsoft is currently engaged in yahoo deal matter. It left the deal table and now again Icahn again intervened and now instead of full acquisition they would go for partial acquisition. Microsoft has now come with an idea of paying users for search. This isn’t a new idea although. Just a new plan to attract few tit-bits of users because users search any search engine to get their desired result rather than to earn pennies. Microsoft really needs to go some good job in search algorithm instead of coming out with stupid plans.
