So along with the sun, something else bright and shiny recently made an appearance in our lives; Bing – the new search engine from Microsoft.
I’ve had a little look. It seems pretty good and there have been some positive reviews of it.
In terms of relevancy, it returns quality results, which is a good start!
There are also little additions that make it easier to use – for example, I like the fact that you don’t need to click on a link to see the contents of a web page.
There’s also a handy map search tab which features a multimap partnership – I am forever typing in ‘Google Maps’ to Google…..
The image search allows you to choose the types of pictures you want to see filtered by e.g. people, colour
The only thing is, like Lena, I wonder when we’ll be able to personalise it, like you can with Ask !
Interesting to see how Bing will fare in the search engine standoff…..
Whilst the Bing search performance seems acceptable enough I hold most issue with the low quality of their logo! I just can’t see how that can have been the best of the options – I think it smacks of design by committee to me!
Yes agree their logo is a more than a bit dodgy….
