Microsoft Bing - competition to Google


Digg!
I suppose you have not yet tried the new internet spotter Bing developed by Microsoft. I mean I find about it just today and have to say I am amazed what can it do. It brings completely new dimension of browsing the internet and is very friendly to the user as well.

It starts very simply. You have the welcome screen and bunch of options how to search the net. Once you send the query both Bing and Google output very similar links, mostly just in different order or so. What is very nice about Bing that it has a popup table next to each of links provided for your request in which you can find more information stored beneath the link. Bing also shows you other relevant related options of your request so that you can more easily find the one you are particularly looking for. In case of Bing you have the option to search for results in only one language right away you neednīt click through some forms to get it done.



When searching for Images you will be very satisfied with Bing as well. You can set the look of the gallery in which the results are shown, you can choose if you want to see the metadata or not and you can browse through very quickly. There is an option to each image to show other similar pictures or to send feedback on that particular image. In the left bar there is again list of similar search queries to yours. You can also filter the output images by size, layout, color, style etc. Bing has really got an ace in its sleeve.

Bing is still in beta testing therefore the browser is not complete for example Maps are not totally finished but they are certainly being taken care of and will be available soon. I must say, Google has got quite an opponent here, it better do something about it not to get wanished.
