Bing recently launched Microsoft visual search which is based on Silverlight technology.It enable user to search using visual images.Google is also not behind.It has integrated google book search in it main search engine.I used bing for few of my business registration searches and found the result to be satisfactory. It good that Microsoft is taking search business so seriously. If google was the lone player it wouldn’t be good for consumer. Google is launching its new caffeine search engine soon.Recently in one of the blog I read the result offered by caffeine and google are same for search query.If you are still undecided which search engine to use I will suggest try both.Both the search engine have their benefits.

MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta will make a number of announcements on stage at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco this afternoon. Among them are two major changes to MySpace Music. The service will now have a full historical archive of music videos from the major labels and independents. And they are also launching an artist dashboard to give musicians deep analytics into profile views, music streams, and friend information.

Music Videos:
MySpace Videos attracts 11 million or so worldwide visitors per month (Comscore, August 2009), but has lacked comprehensive music video licensing rights. Tonight the service will launch a deep archive of music videos from all the major labels and independents. You can see the video homepage atmyspace.com/music/videos .
Users will have the ability to view videos and purchase the audio song and ringtones for the song from either Amazon or iTunes. MySpace is including pre-roll, post-roll and overlay ads on the videos.
Videos will also now be included in the music player widget on all artist pages, if they have music videos available. And users can track videos from artists they are watching, as well as videos their friends are viewing.

Artist Dashboard:
Until now, artists with a presence on MySpace could only view aggregate numbers for profile views, friends, total song plays and songs played today. Tonight, though, they’ll launch an artist dashboard with significantly more analytics data. Artists can view their fans by age and location demographics, and see total plays, friends and profile views over time. The dashboard is available in 17 languages. And it also includes similar information for the artist from iLike, which MySpace acquired earlier this year.

Google is about to launch a music service a we heard it from multiple sources. To secure the content for the launch the service of the major music labels, Google has spent last several weeks. One of the sources has referred the new service as Google Audio. We’re still gathering details, but our understanding is the service will be very different to the Google China music download service that theylaunched in 2008. That service, which is only available in China, allows users to search for music and download it for free. This new service will be available for at least U.S. users, our sources confirm, although it isn’t clear if it’s a download or streaming service, or both. Google already has a decent (if little used) music search engine that can be accessed by simply typing “music:” before a query (example). But songs are not available for streaming or download from those searches.

Nearly two weeks after submitting the app to Apple, Facebook’s totally revamped 3.0 application is finally live on the App Store, according to the app’s developer Joe Hewitt . You can download it now here . The store currently shows that the app is version 2.5, but if you click the Download button anyway you’ll get the new version. The new self inking stamps application brings a slew of new features, making it what may be the most useful app on the App Store (be sure to read this post) for our full review. Among the additions are Events, which have frustratingly been omitted from previous versions. Now you’ll be able to look up where your Events are, and you can also respond to them and see which of your friends are attending (for anyone who has ever had to boot up the web version of the site just to look up an Event address, this is a big deal). You can also post video directly to the site if you have an iPhone 3GS — a feature that will likely see the number of videos on Facebook increase dramatically. Smaller changes include a News Feed that more closely reflects the feed you’ll find on the main Facebook site, as well as the ability to “Like” items your friends have created. One feature that users will be missing is Push Notifications, which we suspect will be rolled out in version 3.1, which Hewitt is already working on. There will also be support for landscape mode in the upcoming release, and we may also see support for the ability to watch Facebook videos from the phone (right now you can only upload them). It’s worth noting that the 11 day wait since Facebook originally submitted the application was enough to raise Hewitt’s ire (and justifiably so), leading him to condemn the App Store approval process and call for its removal entirely.
