Microsoft has announced some new features to Bing search engine on a blog post published yesterday, calling them a “Spring wave of features.” Microsoft has enhanced the site design and experience by moving the Quick Tabs from the left plane to directly below the search box. It has also added a new design aesthetic to the site. The newly introduced Bing updates focus greatly on the entertainment areas of music, movies, TV and gaming.
Microsoft has planned to introduce today a new social section that indexes Facebook. Bing’s Senior Vice President, Yusuf Mehdi, revealed today bing.com/social – “the first search experience integrating the full Facebook firehose with non-pages content.” With this new effort, Bing has turned to be the perfect destination for those that look for real time news via social web outlets. Bing Social isn’t operational yet, but the infrastructure seems to be in the final stages of development.
In all the hustle and bustle of the new Google Search updates, accusations of copying Bing, and the economic rise of Bing that brought about said accusations, it’s easy to forget our old favorite alternative search engine Yahoo. Well, it would have been easy to forget them, had they not just released a new, aggressive, and expensive ad campaign in an attempt to make us remember that they’re there too. The first in this line of ads criticizes its competitors for being too impersonal, and tries to promote their own feature-heavy homepage. Sure, the features are nice, but why aren’t they promoting one major reason why people still go to Yahoo- their video search?
At this week’s Search Engine Strategies Event, Microsoft announced it would be testing new features to further improve its internet search engine Bing. Some testing has already begun, while more is on the way. If the improvements are implemented correctly users will experience a much easier and smarter Bing Search. Earlier today on Bing’s Blog, Todd Schwartz talked about what’s in the works at Bing. Here is a brief run down of three areas in which Bing will look to improve search for users.
It’s true. Although the deal is in its most infant stage, the duo announced today that the search agreement had received clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice as well as the European Commission. The changes are set to start in the next few days, but will continue to be an ongoing process.
Bing unveiled the National Geographic iPhone App, that has 7 million place listings. Now that is simply outstanding. The App also offers iPhone users the ability to "view 7 different levels of cartography, 3 maps styles and the ability to find locations around the world..." This application does not use Google Maps but uses Bing Maps Platform as the integrated mapping service. Many companies are switching over to Bing. And soon we will see Bing as the preferred search engine.
The possibility of Apple partnering up with Microsoft to make Bing the new default search for the iPhone surfaced earlier this week. This news has some big implications, not to mention Microsoft might be willing to share more revenue or even pay a better yearly retainer. This would most certainly sweeten the deal for Apple.
Pull up a chair; you might need to sit down for this one. Google could be losing its spot as the default search engine for the iPhone to Microsoft’s Bing.
The age old rivalry that is: Apple vs. Microsoft has taken a new turn. Over the past few years, Google has moved ahead of Microsoft as Apple’s #1 rival for their coveted internet-tech/mobile crown. Even though Microsoft is still a competitor in many of the same arenas, the perceived threat of Google “Goog-onopolizing” the smart phone and mobile operating systems has forced Apple to reevaluate their once friendly relationship with Google.
