OT: Awesome search engine results for movie times
While I work for Microsoft, I am not blind to the fact that other software solutions exist and may be better or easier. There was a time when I did not use our sites for search. Live.com has improved greatly and today I experienced what I think a search engine should do - it gave me the actual answer I wanted. I received permission (we have 3 kids) to head out with a friend to see an afternoon movie. When he called I didn't know the times so I simply put <batman movie concord> into the search engine and this was the first result shown (technically the first thing was a sales item from a sponsored sight).
I didn't have to click on the movie site and then find a local theater, I didn't have to click on the my local theater and browse its listings, this showed me all the right theater's and the times, in fact it even included the duration of the movie too.
Another cool one to do is with conversion queries <28 celsius fahrenheit> <1 pint conversion>
I was always a big fan of the simple start pages for search sites and Live.com didn't do that as well as they do know with the picture in the background. The Olympics going on right now lent itself to some great pictures.
