Go Bing Yourself, Right Now
It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as go Google yourself, but now you can go Bing yourself. (Then again, Google took a few years ti become a verb.). Bing, Microsoft’s latest effort to compete in search , is now live on a “preview” site. The key thing to pay attention to is the guided search assistance on the left and the different experiences for the travel, images, video, maps, news, and shopping tabs. A few things to try: An ambiguous Web search: “turkey” (do you want images, recipes, facts, or a map of the country? The topic guides in the left explore pane will help you narrow your search). A travel search: “SFO to JFK” Video search: “Simpsons” (hover over the thumbnail to play the video) Image search: “Rollercoasters” (notice the infinite scroll). A health search: “Soar throat” Shopping: “Digital SLR” (sort by price or brand, get average ratings and CashBack). Maps: “BBQ” (automatically knows what city you are in and offers up geo-appropriate results). News Search: “Bing” (what else?) Check it out. Try a few searches and then tell us in comments if you will ever go back.
