New Search Engine: Bing

default-16x9

The new search engine on the block has been launched by Micosoft in Beta form; Bing. http://www.bing.com/?mkt=en-gb I’ve tried it but can’t say it’s any better than Google. The video search option however is good. It produces a postage stamp icon of the videos found which when you run your mouse over them they then play in miniature – I like it.

  1. Bing Reviewed by El Reg
    The Register has a useful review of Bing here:

    But beware: although Bing seems to be making good progress in getting user acceptance, this may have something to do with Bing’s undoubted talent for delivering online porn. But this too is temporary. Microsoft has already tossed out a short-term antidote for Bing’s porn-loving ways, and a more substantial fix is on the way.
