Internet Marketing, Web Technologies & News – Best Web Ezy

Microsoft has released their latest invention – Bing.

Bing provides a new search experience by providing a decision engine.  It provides direct access to the information being searched.  Moreover, it organizes search results in a way that relevant contents can be more quickly and easily located.

To lead to more informed decisions, Bing harness that information through exclusive tools specific to the task.

When you visit Bing’s website, you would be presented with a nice scenery photo – wait – the search box is at the top.  Although Bing is currently in Beta mode, it does its job – provides search results relevant to your search.

Let’s switch to image search – here are some differences.  Inside image search you can choose what kind of images you are looking for – small, medium, large or wallpapers, different layouts and colors, different styles, and photos that only shows the face of human or head & shoulders.

Here is another new toy: the xRank. xRank keeps track of notable people and puts them in order.  Web searches in Bing for movie stars, musicians, famous people etc were counted and compiled with Bing’s ranking formula.  The result is a cultural popularity of different people.

Bing do not have any advertising spots yet, at the time of writing.  It would be interesting to see the benefit of advertising on this new search engine.

Try Bing today.

Have you noticed that there is a new favicon when you load the Google website? 

To be honest, I don’t quite like it.  I think it is kind of ugly.  I prefer the previous one, with a clean and simple character ‘g’.

I wonder why Google would have manpower to change these tiny things?  After all, Google has been known for serious search engine business.  All the tech people envy working in Google, though.  Not just because it is well known.  It is in face the best place to work in.  Think about amusement.  Think about work environment.  Think about meals.

The 2001 version of the well-known search engine is introduced by the time machine Google for celebration of its 10th birthday.

“We wanted to offer users a chance to search an older index as a way of looking back at web history, and the January 2001 Google index is the earliest we could generate,” said a spokesman from Google.

The Google logo back then was like a toy shop. Anyway, it is quite fun to play around with it.

At that time, Best Web Ezy was not online. And of course, a lot of significant brands as well.

And there is no Adwords ads on the search result pages!

Wikipedia is a great invention. You can pretty much find everything on there.

The traditional way (for me) is to Google for something I want. And it is very likely that a Wiki entry is listed within the top 5 results.

Apparently the new Cuil search engine displays a lot of Wiki results as well.

However, do you know that there is a search engine dedicated to search only the Wikipedia?

Powerset is designed just for this purpose.

Powerset enables you to:
1. Discover Factz
For most people, places and things, Powerset shows a summary of Factz from across Wikipedia.

2. Unlock Meaning
Powerset finds articles related to the meaning of your query. And sometimes even direct answers.

3. Scan Summaries
Powerset summarizes pages for easy browsing, with tools that follow you as you read and explore.

It is of course easy to use – type in a search query, click ‘enter’, and there you go.
