After sticking with Microsoft Live Search, Microsoft has launched its new innovation search engine called Bing. The name is not really popular but it will be well-known for sure. I have been playing with Bing for about two days and it is time for me to review the functionalities comparing to Google. I’ll try it by inserting some keywords. (click the title to go to bing with related keyword and click image to see the larger version)
1. Barbie
You must know it, mustn’t you? Very famous doll. The images of Barbie is also displayed and at left sidebar you can also see related search list
2. Reog (images)
Reog is famous dance from Ponorogo, Indonesia. You can see thumbnail larger and information about website and size of image if you hover over the image. Some options are also available in left sidebar such as size, layout, color, style, and people. You can play with it to get more specific images result.
3. Bali (videos)
One of beautiful island and the most favorite destination of Indonesia tourism. Let we see if there are some videos about Bali. You can play the video by hovering over it.
For video searching, I have to change my country from Indonesia to United States because there is no videos searching option for Indonesia Setting.
4. Bali (maps)
You can also see map location of a place. I tried Bali as my keyword and I got this from Bing
Conclusion
Bing looks so promising as a new search engine. Have great and innovative features. It is much much better than Live Search. However, doing head to head between Bing and Google, I will choose Google. It is still the market leader. I think Google team is really busy with Bing now.
