MSDewey-New way to search (http://www.msdewey.com/)
Pretty cool way to search for stuff.
I typed in halo 3 and it said go to the middle of the map and wave your arms and squawk like a chicken to make yourself invisible. rofl

I did it again and it showed a video of someone playing halo 2. And she was holding a control lol.

Not that new actually. MsDewey has been around for years and it's a terrible search engine.

Snooze at the Old News.

While I do think the next wave of search will be guided (See Cha-Cha), I love the Ms Dewey character, this one won't catch on all that well.

I love the idea of branding a search character, but MSN being a software company first with Search being low on the priority list, this isn't going to catch on. MSN has enough branding issues when it comes to search that by the time Ms Dewey does catch on, she'll be collecting social security. That and she's also a gimmick. A search engine's gimmick should be findability and accuracy, not a character.

Interesting enough, I was at a conference in NYC in April where she interruped the keynote speach in character. Great bit, and she's hot in real life. Great inside joke, she said Jeeves was pulling her limo around.

the only reason anyone goes to cha-cha is to spam the help people

also if you need another person to help you use an automated search engine, you're seriously DOING IT WRONG

Heh, I just thought it was cool. Just put it random words, even profanity. Some of the stuff she says is funny. :p
