Bing is yet another search engine, i.e. Google, Yahoo, AskJeeves, MSN, AOL, etc. This is Microsoft’s new search that is supposed to rule the search engine
world. Will it really?
Bing cames out at the end of May 2009 as the replacement for Live Search. It’s notable features are:
- Search suggestions in real-time while typing in your search
- Related search offerings on the left-side of the screen
- Ability to save and share search histories
- Daily background image changes of high resolution worldly places
- Video thumbnails play in preview just by hovering over video with cursor
- Instant answers to questions – sports score, stock quote, plane departure time
- Local info is displayed like Google Maps
Overall, Bing has it all. Lots of functionality. And the background displays are really quite a site, pun and misspelling intended. It’s worth giving it a shot and your technical support brain will not need to navigate far in being able to get the info you need.
