It is clear that some of the folks who have commented so far are not very excited about it. I can understand this, too. I’d recommend folks check out TipTop at http://FeelTipTop.com to see what “real” real-time search can deliver when packaged well.

Real-time search is nothing more than agent-based technology. I don’t believe general consumers care about real-time search and the audience that will use real-time search are using more hard-core agent tools for agent-based information retrieval. But the “real time search” moniker is cute and faddy, though….

Voice command search was implemented by Microsoft Live Mobile, prior to Bing several years ago. What was describe was very similiar to what Microsoft released years ago with their SAPI and it appears to be catch-up. The issue with voice command is the similiar to Ask Jeeves poor implementation of natural language query processing – it appears to be nothing but a facade and not a true platform to accomdate voice/conservant information retrieval.

Overall, I expected something more fundamentally groundbreaking than this stuff…
