Zune HD - Coming Soon… Windows 7 to hit stores on October 22
Jun 01

Microsoft’s Bing search engine just went live on the internet. Bing is not exactly a search engine, its a decision making engine. That’s what Microsoft says. Besides letting you search for quick facts like “Capital of Canada” or “Longest river”, it also searches for options like “Cheapest flight from Dallas to Cincinnati” and lists the flights along with the fare, timings and availability right on the search page, so you can choose conveniently. This could be used for various things like planning a vacation or Shopping online by searching for a product and getting rates of the products in all stores on a single page. Thats awesome! Besides, searching the web, Bing also has Image, Video, News and Maps search. Maps gives you directions and lists local businesses in the area. Another feature in Bing is “xRank” that shows searches made by people living near your region.


To sum it up, Bing is interesting and worth a try. Visit Bing.com

    Thanks for the informative article, a great read.

    I'm very much excited about Bing, here in the United Kingdom, Google is used for 98% of all searches and I'm very much against monopolies. Google's bid for Yahoo never went through and so I figure this is what they are now focusing all their efforts on.

    It will be interesting to see how the more traditional types of search engines will deal with the next-gen of search engines, such as the new Wolfram Alpha. They are offering great functionality.
