Microsoft launches Tafiti - the new Search and Silverlight experiment

Ankur Mittal · 22-08-2007, 04:53 PM

Microsoft has created a new search engine application based on the combination of Live Search and silverlight technology.Here is what the site reads-
Tafiti, which means “do research” in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

Microsoft has added many new features to it.you can blog it,search the feeds,the news,the books and many other features.
This would be surely a boom in the field of search engines so be sure to look at Tafiti atleast once.Here is the link- http://tafiti.com
