Bing... A jamesblog Review

Bing is here. I've spent a while on the site looking to see my likes and dislikes. Bing looks pretty promising and I will be using often now to see how well it is for everyday use. Here are some of my likes and dislikes. Likes:

• T.V. shows - unlike Google who hides there T.V. viewing page... (yes Google has T.V. It's called Google T.V. You need to be special to get in.) Bing just comes out and says, "Here are some shows. Ta Da!" Which is nice.
• xRank - this shows you what Bing users are searching the most. A pretty cool feature. Shows you top searched over all, musicians, celebrities, etc.
• Local - shows you local business's and stuff around you. A great feature for finding something new to do.
• Searching - has to be my favorite part. Bing doesn't just give you a site, it gives you everything. I searched Applebees and it showed me resteraunts near me, nutrition facts, recipes, franchise, etc. By far a great move on Microsoft's part.
• Easter eggs - in other words hidden stuff. When you scroll over the picture you find small squares which tell you about that place.

Dislikes:

• Looks a lot like Google....
• Doesn't have as many features (but it's brand new... cut it some slack James...)
• Says stuff for Live Search and MSN.... kinda dumb if you ask me.

well check out bing.com and tell me what you think!

Thanks!
