Microsoft has just launched Live Products, a competitor to Google's Froogle. TechCrunch reviewed Live Products this afternoon. Although the site is FireFox friendly, it loads ten times quicker in Internet Explorer (although no other sites do this). Live Products itself is actually very nice to use. I'd say that the site design is better than Froogle. A quick search for a projector and I easily found what I was looking for. It suggested related terms I might be looked for, and offered multiple sort options. Finally, the site is all done in AJAX, which I always love. Another good Live release for Microsoft.
Also, when you go to the main Live Products page, notice the horizontal list of services offered: Web, News, Images, Local, Feeds, Academics, Products. Sounds a lot like someone else's list of search offerings. My question is, what's next to fill up that horizontal bar?
UPDATES!
