Bing...

 

This is the new search engine introduced by Microsoft.Even though, it was released on May 28, 2009.. I visited it 2 days back.

The name has strong similarity to the word 'bingo', which is used to mean that something sought has been found or realized, as is interjected when winning the game Bingo.

In the first glance, Bing will leave a very good impression on you. 

  

  

 

  

The home page has very good background with some amazing wallpapers. You can even change it as you like. To change it, you have to move the pointer to bottom-right & press "previous image"or"next image" buttons which are present in the form of arrows.

As you move the pointer on the background image, there will be formation of black boxes. They just flash and disappear as you move out. When you place the pointer on them, a text-box opens up displaying a fact or info...whatever  ... it is about the theme of the background. It gives the link to know more about it.

As you browse it...you feel that it's graphics or whatever...are good. Better than Google. I think it's the reason why it takes more time to load than Google. It's Bandwidth intensive. That's Why I think Google kept it simple. Maybe...

The layout somewhat resembles that of the Google. 

Coming to it's purpose as a search engine, When you search a word in it... you will not get a good search as compared to that of Google. If you search the word "bing" in both of them, you will get more results in Google than Bing. This example shows how the experience matters.

As of January 2010^[update] Bing is the 3rd largest search engine on the web by query volume, at 3.16%, after its competitor Google at 85.35% and Yahoo at 6.15%, according to Net Applications.

Let's Hope that They come up with better ideas, better searches & better..........
