Bing – Get Ready to Start Your Engines

More and more people are relying on Internet search engines for answers. If you are like me, I find myself refining my initial queries with new or modified words. Bing was designed to overcome all of this chaos by presenting fast, relevant search results.
I already know what you are thinking – Is it just another Google knockoff or is Bing really better? See for yourself, websites like bing-vs-google.com make it really easy to compare the results side by side.
What’s Bing All About?
Here is just a short list of its many facts and features.
  • Released globally on May 28, 2009. By June 3rd Live Search was completely replaced with Bing
  • On the surface Bing appears to be clean, uncluttered and organized
  • Automatically suggests similar terms to refine your search
  • Bing offers their Best Match result based on your query, saving you time and clicks
  • By hovering over a search result, Bing gives you a quick caption of what the site contains
  • Left side bar lists Related Searches. For example, if you type in "Julia Roberts" Bing suggests links that you may be looking for: Images, Movies, Fan Club, Posters, Interview, Quotes, and Videos
  • Bing delivers Instant Answers. For example, “What is the weather in Dallas?” Instantly Bing displays the five day forecast for Dallas
  • Enables English language users to access webpages in other languages with a translate this page link
  • Bing has included Wikipedia content directly into its search results
  • Images can be filtered by size, color, style, etc
  • By hovering over a video, Bing will auto-play a preview
Go ahead, give it a shot and let me know what you think. Is it just another Google knockoff or is Bing really better?
