MSN Launches Live Search for Mobile Beta

As the use of mobile phones in everyday life continues to grow, using the mobile Internet technology available with most of these services is expected to increase as well. As many of you know, searching is the second most popular Internet task next to email. Because of this, it is little surprise the search engine industry is embracing the mobile generation as well.

While search is indeed a popular activity, search providers are not focusing on Internet search as much as they are local search when it comes to the mobile user. While Internet search is indeed available, companies like Mobile Software – Mobile Browsing - Access maps and directions directly on your phone’s browser. Simply enter Text Messages (SMS)- If you don’t have a data plan, you can simply send a text message to 95483 (WLIVE) with a query like “Toys Chicago, IL” or “Coffee 90210” and you’ll immediately receive a text message reply with the nearest business listings with address and phone numbers.
