Alexa Powered By Windows Live
Alexa Search is now powered by Microsoft’s Windows Live (source: Threadwatch). A9 is still powered by Google.
Windows Live is also the 13th most popular site today.
So what exactly does this mean? Not quite sure yet but this is going to be very interesting to watch. Microsoft is now promoting Live instead of MSN and this could be the future of their search. Keep an eye on this one.
Update: A9 is now using Live.com as the default search and ‘Web by Google’ is optional.
