Microsoft Live Mobile Adds Product Search, “Find My Location”
Microsoft has introduced enhanced mobile product search at m.live.com. It shrinks down the content from the desktop product search into a bite-sized mobile presentation. You get images, reviews, product specifications, and features. These things don’t come up for every category; however, it’s a very nice presentation of information, and the available categories should grow rapidly.
The company has simultaneously introduced “Find My Location,” based on cell phone tower triangulation, for Japan and the UK.

Yahoo Podcasts To Close; The Sorry State Of Podcast Search
Sigh. As someone who produces a podcast – and who has enjoyed searching for podcasts when going on roadtrips — I don’t get why podcast search isn’t more supported by the major search engines. Yahoo Podcasts, rolled out with promise back in October 2005, now sports a message at the top of the page saying "Yahoo! apologizes deeply, but we will be closing down the Podcasts site on Oct. 31, 2007."
Nice job, Yahoo. What, you can’t even post a link to a reason why you’re closing? No advice for what the podcast owners that actually promoted your service, about what they’re supposed to do with their channels? Is the site going poof, just not being supported at all in the future, or what?

Podzinger Is Now EveryZing
Following in the recent footsteps of Technorati, which morphed into a multi-media search engine, podcast search engine Podzinger has added video and rebranded itself EveryZing, a stronger and (paradoxically) less confusing brand.
Google introduced video into Google.com results with the roll out of Universal Search and the new Ask3D prominently features video (search provided by Blinkx).

Up Close With Digg Podcasts (& Vote For The Daily SearchCast!)
Neil Patel covered the new podcast feature at Digg in yesterday’s story, The New Digg Features Plus, A Submitter’s Perspective, but I wanted to take a deeper look at how it works plus maybe entice a few votes for my own podcast, The Daily SearchCast, along the way.

The New Digg Features Plus, A Submitter’s Perspective
Today, Kevin Rose announced the release of new Digg features. What most people covered in the release were all the cool additions, but no one really talked about the small changes that have drastically affected submitters. Before I dig into these small changes that affected submitters, here is a quick recap of the new features that everyone is talking about:
