Microsoft Finally Promoting Live Search?

By Li Evans

I was reading an article on Fox News and I just happened to notice an ad.  Normally I'm pretty blind to them, but this one caught my eye because I've been looking for these ads.  I saw ads for Microsoft's Live Search.  Could it be that Microsoft is finally putting some concerted effort into promoting Live?  I sure hope so - it desperately NEEDS it.

I decided to go out to both CNN and MSNBC to look for ads by Microsoft for Live Search, but sadly I haven't found any on these news outlets.  That's pretty sad since Microsoft is part owner in MSNBC.  There's ads for Dell/Vista - but I couldn't track down an ad for Live.  It's a nice start with the ads on Fox News.  However, why not pull a few strings and get those ads on MSNBC, where you have a little more clout?

I'll keep my eye out for more ads, hopefully these will stay along the lines i've posted here, and we won't have to deal with anymore creepy bugs and skulls like in the Zune ads.
