A Sneak Peek Look at Microsoft’s New Kumo: A Spidery Cloud? A Cloudy Spider?
Here are three screenshots of Microsoft’s internal test of a new search product called Kumo.
The long expected upgrade to Live Search from Microsoft is being tested for a public rollout later this year.
Sources at Microsoft said the company has not yet decided whether it will keep the Kumo name, which sounds a little too much like that crazy dog from the Stephen King novel.
Maybe that’s the point, at least related to Google. (Chomp!)
In Japanese, actually, Kumo has two definitions–cloud and spider.
