AOL Search Gets an "Olympic" Silver

AOL Mobile Search has been awarded a Silver Medal by mocoNews! The mobile search blog held a competition of sorts to see which search engine has the best mobile results for the search term "Olympics." Yahoo! and Google tied for gold and MSN Live came in third place for bronze.

Swimmers Dara Torres and Katie Hoff are jubilant about their silver medals and so are we. OK, so ours wasn't won in Beijing's Water Cube, but it feels great just the same.

The key differentiators according to mocoNews was that Google and Yahoo shows medal results and rankings for the term "Olympics" while AOL doesn't. On the other hand AOL Mobile Search shows Olympic themed ringtones from our partner Thumplay. MocoNews judged our results for basic WAP phones but we're also really proud of our iPhone product (pictured).

We're always looking for ways to improve our search results and are open to suggestions. Let us know what you would like to see.
