Ms. Dewey Search Engine Answers With Attitude
Ms. Dewey is a new search engine lorded over by an avatar (played by actress Janina Gavankar) that makes comments, jokes and SEMI-RUDE REMARKS as your results appear. She drinks, shoos away her sycophantic assistant, shoots rubber bands at you and generally entertains you while you're searching. (While you're not searching, she entertains herself by harassing you.) Ms. Dewey is the anti-Google. She's part of an experimental viral marketing campaign for Microsoft Windows Live Search developed by San Francisco-based Evolution Bureau. Bonus weirdness: If you turn up your sound and listen carefully, you can hear an off-camera director giving the actress stage directions.

According to Forbes, it's viral marketing for Microsoft, of all people. blogs.forbes.com/digitaldownload
In my opinion,there should be a change on the way the search results are shown. The top right corner is kind of acceptable but the weird scroll in not at all user friendly.Maybe if the results where shown benieth Ms.Dewey.Good job anyhow. -Bazer
