Microsoft betas Book Search
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft is ready to let users start poking around the stacks.
The Redmond, Wash.-based company announced that will release the beta version of its Live Search Books application tomorrow.
This is an important part of the company's strategy to turn its Windows Live platform, which it just took out of beta in the last few days, into a hub of experiences that create customer loyalty, thereby driving incremental advertising revenue gains.
Windows Live offers consumer-oriented services and software, and is being offered alongside the MSN portal as a complementary service. The MSN search engine has begun to redirect users to Live Search.
