A Tryst with Bing

It is almost a month since Bing - Microsoft newest entry into web search space made it is public appearance. Since the I have been hearing about its features-USP's through a lot of sources including the one of the blog post by my student. However, it was not until yesterday evening I had any chance to test the Bing personally. After office hours yesterday, I along with some of colleagues made a informal use of search engine. In short we were impressed by this new Microsoft offer. I was very doubtful and skeptical since earlier Microsoft attempts in this space were not up to the mark. Bing has certain features which makes it a compelling choice for any web associated search. For instance, whenever a uses moves mouse over a listed item on result page, it provides additional information about it as snippets. In case of a video search - user can play them just moving a mouse over it. This unlike other search engine options saves a lot of time for user. It saves at least a keystroke for each of output in search result page. Cumulatively it makes a great saving from user perspective. Bing is a good choice to start experimenting.
