MotionBridge, based in Paris, is a worldwide leader in mobile search technology that is currently available to customers through contacts with major mobile communications companies in Europe and North America... The MotionBridge technology brings superior simplicity for users, delivering clustered results and deep links to downloadable content from multiple providers with device filtering.

Hopefully, the acquisition of <a href="http://www.motionbridge.com/">MotionBridge</a> will help boost the quality of Windows Live's offering.
