Microsoft LIVE To Get a Makeover and a New Name

Microsoft is all set to change the image of its search engine LIVE with a complete makeover sometime early next year. This make over would not only include change of the overall look of LIVE but also shifting of search Business to some new name.

Sources say that the new search is most likely to be called as ‘Kumo’ which means ‘cloud’ or ‘spider’ in Japanese.

From what I understand from the whispers in the blogosphere this rebranding may be the final step in LIVE completely taking over the role of a social network. This would mean that people would not only go there to search but also to access email, photos, and other things, something very similar to what we have a Yahoo right now.

Some of the critics believe that this is the right step after Microsoft failed to overtake Yahoo earlier this year.

Let’s hope that we get to see a better LIVE (or Kumo)
