Microsoft Relaunches Jellyfish, Farecast

Microsoft said today that it has relaunched two of its acquisitions as Live Search Cashback and Live Search Farecast. Farecast, the online airline fare prediction and travel booking site acquired by Microsoft in February, relaunches as Live Search Farecast. Live Search Cashback will offer ad-funded cash rebates to customers who buy products through the firm's search site, and is the result of Microsoft's October 2007 acquisition of shopping site Jellyfish. The sites were announced at advance08, Microsoft's annual advertising customer event.
