Bing is real surprise !!! I never imagined MS will build something so great, so innovative, so different…

Bing is really cool with every feature it has right from the first page photo - even though certain websites are proudly making 20 Billions from a text box and a button, as Ballmer says there is lot more to do in search.

Bing homepage displays different photo everyday and also you can see all previous ones. It has got real cool set of photos and they don’t even take time to load. Not just that but every photo would include information with video links about the place.

Search results are very relavent and you get relavent links and sections - if you search place name, you would get left hand links with Tourism, Weather, Maps and Restaurant. If you search person, you would get personal links like Books, Accomplishments, Facts etc. You search university, you would get Admissions, Alumni etc.

As said it is real “Decision Engine”. Really something beyond conventional search.

Coolest feature i loved is if you search video - within search result you just take your mouse over it and it will start playing automatically within search result page - no matter it is from Youtube or any other video site.

Reviews all over web also are great and this is definitely start of new “era” in search engines.

Next time you need something, Just “Bing” it..

Note: I assume most of features are only availble on US website of Bing, so don’t forget to change Country from Top Right Menu to United States.

After Microsoft closed its internal hosting service (FREE!!!), I had to come back to Brinkster after a year’s break. To my surprise Brinkster just offered this hosting package @ just $02/mo with all required 1GB/.NET 3.5/MySQL etc. This is awesome!!! I always loved Brinkster for its support, but $120/year was too costly earlier. You can check more details at www.brinkster.com/mini if you are intereseted.

Main intention behind my owning domain was always email account, but now starting blogging…
