Live Search comes to Facebook with custom search page

Mashable just spotted the new implementation of Live Search integrated into Facebook.  According to Mashable:

The implementation is fairly straightforward: in the search box on the top right of Facebook, which is also used for quick access to your friends’ profiles and intrasite search, there is now an option to “Search the Web,” which in turn triggers a query of Microsoft Live Search. Results then display within a custom interface designed for Facebook.

A credit card is required to verify you as an individual, not to make payments for the service, with the aim to stop spammers.

It always has ready people to take off ours you doubt. Being the card of I credit so that spammers is not creating accounts and accounts to full our boxes of e-mails with garbage, I am satisfied.

Chris thanks a lot.

He could have a version of the Office Live without the Microsoft Office Live Mail after all, if you are in the Internet and necessary to order email she has the Windows Live Mail to use, is clearly that she would have that to have one I tie with the account of the Live Mai.

Thus I find that an account in the Office Live without the necessity of a card could be created of credits.

Starting next week you can hopefully join the international betas, if you live in one of those countries that it is running in. The address verification does make it a bit of a pain for international testers I agree.

I find this wonderful one But if to launch a Office simple Live beginner's all-purpose symbolic instruction code better goes to be alone with Word, Excel and Power Point and with access for the Live Mail. Ai would be a good one also, but the Microsoft does not have to make thus. Because it would be a good one for who only wants to have the Word and Excel in any place where has access net. On spammer them, I find that the form would have to be improved that the people denounce spammers.

Starting next week!

I'm waiting!
