I’ll keep this short, as this is more of a “hey go try this” post than me rambling on about how much I like or dislike something. Anyway, last week Microsoft launched its new search engine, Bing (www.bing.com).
It’s your run of the mill search engine with a cool looking interface and it won’t beat google anytime soon as far as functionality. But, it has a very cool feature with its video search.
Go to the video search and search up whatever it is you’re looking for, and then hover over the video thumbnails. Sweet, eh? A neat little preview of the video plays right there for you to sample the video before you click through.
The world seems to love Bing right off the bat, but Microsoft is also catching a lot of heat for the video feature, since, um, if you turn the safe search off and happen to look up inappropriate content…yeah, you catch my drift – it’s a full on porn video search, complete with previews. Some people are not happy about this.
Luckily, I am not one of those people. Give it a spin – let us know what you think!
