Harrison Hoffman is reporting that Microsoft has launched Live Search News which is part of the Live family. Hoffman notes that it’s a lot like Google News. He also puts in a TechMeme reference with the "related" links. The innovation appears to come from the automatic local news stream on the right.

What I’d like to see is a truly live news offering. Maybe a nice Adobe Air desktop app that just keeps popping up as new news hits. With all of these news sites, I have to sit there and refresh or wait for the feed to update. Drop the news onto my desktop with nice immediate alerts and you might get somewhere. Remember that to beat Google, you can’t be 2% better, you need to be MUCH better. 

Andy Beal notes that there are no RSS feeds currently available. While this has made him a bit miffed, let’s all remember that most of the world has not a clue (nor cares) what a feed is. With that said, it would still be good to have if they want to hit the tech and reporter communities.
