Bing announces “Attractions“.

This resource may help in planning a trip, as it connnects users to photos, reviews, events, etc.

Bing: Artist’s Pages

According to the official Bing Blog, Bing now offers artist’s pages. To be clear, these specially created pages are for recording artists. Think Lady Gaga. These pages will link to songs and albums; images and videos; and news and events. You can watch this video about this new feature from Bing.

Bing Entertainment

Bing, Microsoft’s “Decision Engine,” continues to grow and develop. I just learned about Bing Entertainment. Use it, of course, to search for music, movies, TV shows, games, and video games. Read more about this enhancement on Bing’s blog. Note: Bing Entertainment is a great resource to use to find music lyrics.

Bing = More Than A Year Old Now

Bing, Microsoft’s search engine (or, rather, decision engine) turned 1 at the end of May.

Here’s a piece from ComputerWorld that sings the praises of Microsoft’s search strategy as well as challenge to Google.

(Note: The ComputerWorld article cites April 2010 search statistics from Hitwise, which report that Google still dominates; in fact, Google accounted for 71% of Internet searches in April 2010.)

Bing has received positive attention for its travel search, shopping search, maps, and visual search.
