Can’t Decide The Answer? Bing It!
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO unveiled
Microsoft’s new web engine codenamed Kumo, Bing at All Things D conference in San Diego, 2 days ago.
Bing is the fourth release of Microsoft’s search engine formerly known as MSN Search, Live Search and Windows Live Search.
In this article, I’m not going to give a historical background for Internet searching, but I’m going to give a list of Bing top features as shown in Bing’s product guide.
Bing Top Features
Auto-Suggest – Offers intelligent alternatives for search queries
Instant Answers – Serves up information within search results, eliminating the need to click on anything
Best Match – Provides useful links and information for definitive sites

Bing will be officially launched on June 3, 2009. I won’t be in need to watch videos, read articles about the new engine, I’ll set my homepage to Bing and start investigating it myself!
