Bing Homepage: Better than Google!


Every time search engine Google.com does something special with its main search page graphics, it becomes news. Newspapers bring out news items telling users about it (perhaps they believe their readers do not use google and hence need to be informed of this important update :), people discuss it on social networking sites and it is also a popular talk when friends meet over lunch or tea. Google has such a huge brand recall value that all other search engines get eclipsed. Have you checked out Bing.com?

Bing is the web search engine from Microsoft. When it was inaugurated, it came out with many great features which Google also copied and made use of. I especially noted features of scroll in image search and snapshot views at the right hand bar, which were not present in Google earlier but they introduced it later on. It still has many features unique and better than google. But I wanted to discuss the home page and graphics here.

Bing changes its background image daily. And what a fabulous pictures are those! Just keep reaching bing.com daily, or make it your homepage so that when you open your browser bing opens, and I am sure you will be mesmerized by the wonderful collection of images it brings… The background images also mention information about the things shown in the image.

Why I am prompted to blog about it is because today I noted a moving visual in its background image! It shows a dog resting on the ground, but it opens its eyes after sometime and then casually shuts them back! It is so cute and wonderful… 

It has its eyes closed:





Now it opens its eyes slightly:




Even the grass moves a little. 

It is possible to view the image on full page and also download it.


Do give it a try and explore more! I am sure you will like it!
