Windows Live Testing Video Search

Windows Live is working on a new service that is currently in beta (like everything else these days), it is a video search. No, you won't find it on their front page, but instead it is hiding on beta.search.live.com.

With Windows Live trying to aim as broad as it can, grabbing users from every walk of life, everyone knew that their Live brand would not be complete without a video site.

TechCrunch gives their two cents on the new video search:

The Live video search index appears to to be comparable to Google and AOL video search - though everyone gets destroyed by Yahoo! video search in terms of sheer numbers of results. The results page is very simple so far, a single column displaying thumbnails, titles, source, duration and summary in clean boxes. File type and more information are available in a drop-down from the corner of each result.

I can't wait until Microsoft fully launches their Live branding so we can see if they are really headed in the right direction. So many times Microsoft appears to be doing something right, they seem to find a way to mess it all up. So it is wait and see time, especially when they put Beta on a product.
