After Google's announcement of their newest tools in search arena, here comes Microsoft's leaked images on their latest formed search site with codename: Kumo
What comes in my mind once i read and heard this news was that, are they replacing the Live Search or just Renaming or rebranding the search site?



Well, so much for that, Kumo was already opened and has ongoing testing which started last months ago in Microsoft's internal employees only. And now, there is a buzz that Microsoft will launch Kumo earlier next week.

Just one question, can this move change last April's report on comScore of the search market share of Google, microsoft and Yahoo? After Microsoft topped 8.2 share only? Well, good luck for Kumo or live search.

Google, the number one search engine site has introduced new tools in searching and querying market during their second Searchology event held at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California.
