Bing Videos

Video searches are neatly arranged with a short description of referring sites, length of the video etc. Even more exciting is the preview with full audio, just with a mouse over.

Yes it has a safe search option too. You can have tree type of filters

Strict          : Restrict sexually explicit content.
Moderate : Filter out the contents moderately.
Off                : Do not filter out any results.

Simple as google.

Last but not least, Bing made their interface as simple as possible which was a plus point of google.

With all this said, Is Bing going to be a nightmare for Google ??

    Nice post friend.

  2. Bing avoids two traps: One, it doesn’t just try to ape Google. Two, Microsoft hasn’t over-styled it and thrown in the kitchen sink of aesthetics and functionality. There is clearly an editorial hand at work that hasn’t allowed it to get focus-grouped to death. Kudos to Microsoft for that.
