Win Prizes For Searching?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

What a novel idea! To compete with established search giant Google, Microsoft has added a prizing application to its search service, LiveSearch. Although they have given no indication that they are going to offer levels, power-ups or microgames, the idea of incenting people with simple prizes and easy-to-play sweepstakes is nothing new. It will be interesting to see if they leverage the skills inherent in their Game Group to make this experience even more fun!
