so, you guys may or may not have been hearing about bing.com, microsoft's new search engine. in general, i believe that google is the best at everything. and microsoft is completely inept, and incapable of innovation. but then i accidentally ended up on bing's search page, and started playing. of course, i was skeptical at first, but it turns out bing is kind of cool.2 reviews:
Microsoft Bing: Much better than expected
Hands On With Microsoft’s New Search Engine: Bing, But No Boom
a few notable features:
. the bird's eye view maps are just way too much. you can kill hours playing with this.
. if you hover over search results, a text excerpt pops up
. travel searches integrate farecast.com, a multi-airline search with price predictor, advising whether you should buy or wait
. in video searches, bing results just look better, and play when you hover over them
. you get to play fun games with photos on the homepage!
n-e-wayz, it's probably not quite google-replacement-worthy, but it's definitely interesting to check out.
