Bing is Dinging

We have all come to terms with Google being the dominate force with its massive search engine, but Microsofts decision search engine is trying to change all of that with Bing. I found a short blog post on a new feature Bing has introduced.

This new visual search feature Bing has come up with is a great idea. Since most people now a days when searching the internet like to see what they are looking at before clicking. With the visual search a person will be able to see and find exactly what they are looking for and even narrow down the search with different categories.

This alone will not bring down the giant that is Google, but will give Google competition and show people you don't always have to rely on Google to find your answers.

To check out bing.com, just click the hyperlink.

  1. This visual search aspect of Bing was very cool. It will take a while for me to fully get it..I'm pretty well trained to be a Google-ite. But there's no doubt in my mind that the competition in search that Bing is bringing will be good for us all, including Google. Thanks for the post. I hadn't seen this until today.

  2. I had not even heard of Bing until this class got started and even then I was not all that sure as to what it was, but then I started seeing commercials for it and it has been brought to my attention more than a couple times thereafter. It is very interesting and now that I know there are more visual aspects in contrast with Google it could be a more effective tool for me. In addition to that, Google needs to not be a monopoly anymore. Very interesting Tyler.
