Lets see how well it does. So far its slow as shizzle because every one of us geeks is kicking the proverbial tires.

Who knows maybe it is the Google Killer.

I doubt it though.

Bah!.. i used the local live to 'explore ze vorl' and it was ok, not as much global zoom as google local, but ehh.. its ok. the live is nice, now.

I still say Bah! though.

I've been using live.com and start.com before it for the past six months or so. The new updates they made look nice. They fixed the cartoony pictures of the weather with more realistic looking versions, and they now have a more Vista-ish look to the content panes :rambo:

The 45 degree Bird's Eye view is also good in the local.live map thingy. Hopefully more than just the large cities will be included with that feature.

looks good to me....takes a while to load though.

Pretty awesome :thumb:

Some minor things here and there, but over all very well done. I prefer it to Google IG, except for all the fonts are messed up.

How do you get the free domain?
