Towards Web NextGen: Transformative Web Experiences.

The Web 2.0 global adoption, the geometric growth of content (more content has been created over the past 11 years than in the entire history prior to 1999), and the fact that, by year 2012, 24% of the content consumed will be multimedia (according to leading Analysts) calls for new technologies for extracting insight out of this overwhelming amount content and for delivering engaging, actionable, and transformative web experiences. Pivot is one such technology by Microsoft Live Labs.

Today, when we use the Web, we treat the most fundamental scenarios as separate activities. Search takes us from many things to one, browsing moves us from one thing to another, and recommendations expose affinities that enable us to explore related topics. Pivot beaks the mold by allowing us to combine these scenarios into a more unified experience. Indeed, Pivot focuses on this intersection---enabling us to learn key lessons while attempting to broadly apply this philosophy to the Web.  We hope that Pivot will inspire and fuel transformative experiences across the Web
