Today on Channel 10, Larry Larsen interviews Marc Mercuri who announces and demonstrates an experimental Silverlight-based interface to Live Search called Tafiti.

Marc works on the platform incubation team. In this podcast we discuss what platform incubuation means, how the Tafiti project exemplifies it, and what the future may hold not only for Tafiti but for a platform that's evolving to encompass both software and services.

I like that interface. You'd think it would be annoying but it works very well for a site with animation.

It's unfortunate that it doesn't play well with pop-up blockers. Most people don't have a clue how to tell the built in IE pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups on this site so it would be completely useless for most people. If you have to do anything special to get a site to work. 99% of the people will just give up instantly.
