Bing! Microsoft releases new search engine

by Dave Rigotti on May 28, 2009

The Internet is buzzing today with the release of Microsoft’s new search engine called Bing.com. Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer publically demonstrated Bing for the first time Tuesday at the All Things Digital conference. Bing is the next iteration of Live Search, which incorporates numerous new technologies, such as Powerset. Andy Beal has a great roundup of screenshots here. Bing goes live to the public beginning on June 3 and it will be phased in over the course of a few days. Congratulations to the search team for shipping!
