He’s right, this new search engine experiment from Microsoft will catch the attention of many because of a couple of things: entertainment and a real person seeminly talking to me. Ms. Dewey has several intro scenes, that pull the viewer into the screen because she’s looking right at the camera and making a connection. If you wait too long to type a topic into the text box, she taps on the invisible glass partition in front of her and asks, “Anyone there?” and snipes ” Hello, type something here [pointing to the text box].” This personal touch is definitely a draw. [...] [...] Will Richardson’s statement, “Google is just too boring” caught my eye, so I followed his link to Ms. Dewey.

Typed in a certain "celebrity" from Sirius satallite and she picked it up. Missed on some other things but still a lot of fun! Found it fascinating!

Of course, I did not do much searching. I just watched Ms. Dewey get agitated to see what sarcastic thing she would say next. I may never use Google again! Of course, I did not do much searching.

I guess she’s actually not that new, she’s (Janina Gavankar) powered by Live/MS Search and according to Wikipedia is an experiment on the part of MS to see how people will use it (I guess that means geeks will spread it virally).
