BING is KING !!!

"BING ???, not heard of 'BING' yet." Well 'Bing' is a new search engine by 'Microsoft'. It replaces Microsoft's 'Live' search engine and is more user-friendly than any existing search engine at present. It was code-named 'Kumo' during its development at Microsoft and it works on 'Silverlight'. You can try bing at :

www.bing.com

"Bing, It's just 'Yet Another Search Engine'."------ No way !!! if you are accessing bing from India you may think so for while. But, just change your country to 'United States' in the top right corner, and here comes the "Bada Bing Bada Boom". Just type something to search for.

On the results page, hover mouse on any of the results, you will see an 'orange' dot on your right. Take mouse to the dot, some text from the corresponding site pops up in a ballon. This is an exciting feature and saves lot of clicks in choosing the correct link among the results.

Now try an image search. The image results are all displayed on a single page. You can scroll through them and choose the best one. It will save a lot of time by avoiding switch over to next and previous pages. And you can scroll through thousands of images in just few secounds. Thus giving you the best results. You can optimise your search further by selecting various tags on left column of result page.

Video search is also awesome in bing. In the results page, hover your mouse over any of the result item and the video starts playing there itself. When you click a video, it plays on the bing page itself. It also allows you to move over to next/prev pages without interrupting the playing video. How else can video search be better than this !!!

This is not over yet. Bing is not just a 'Search Engine', its a 'Decision Engine'. It assists you in planning your travel, shopping, driving and even more. With its intelligence it can sort the user review into positive and negative, so now you dont need to read any of them. It finds for you what you are actually looking for like. So, try and decide with 'Bing' !!!

Keep Binging !!! :)

Apart from this, the blog also features a special section as " CODIES : The Digital Roadies ". It will include 'Find an Error', 'Generate the Output' and other such problems. The blog will also try to throw some light on the intricacies of C, the mother of all languages. Followers participation through comments and solutions is required for continuity of this section.

This blog will also offer information about the happenings in organisations and groups I am associated with, viz. SVNIT, ACM, MSP and SVNIT Tech Club. I look forward for your comments and suggestions for improvement of this blog.

Thank You and Happy Surfing. :)
