In much of the news about Microsoft’s relaunched search engine, Bing, one of the things that many tech bloggers have been mentioning as being new is how Bing will display images and videos. More than a few comments I have seen around is how it is rather cool that Bing will let you play videos inline.
Here’s a hint people: Live.com was doing that for some time.
What is even funnier though is how cool people think the way that Bing let’s you drill down on images. When you select Bing – Images and enter in your query you will see something like this
As you can see a graphic for Shooting at Bubbles shows up quite nicely (which it didn’t do in Google’s image search by the way). Now if you click on the actual graphic you will drill down to this display
Here’s another hint guys – Live.com has been doing this for a very long time.
It’s one thing to poke fun at something but come on folks if you’re going to write about something especially when you are pointing out faults or pluses make sure you know what you are talking about. I remember Live.com getting panned all the the time but obviously when it comes to Microsoft this doesn’t apply.
Microsoft = FAIL
Google = FTW
Ya, right.
