Microsoft will be revised to more concise and more "social"

As If you clean up the messy desk, messy paper replaced the frame of the really important people, you will have a rough idea of ​​the Microsoft (Microsoft) this week released a new version of Bing (Bing) search engine. No bells and whistles, colorful search results, no You never look at the search list, there is no search results in a mixture of Facebook "Like" labels.
Left some? Large gaps, which create a more peaceful people to read and digest the information environment. Microsoft has added a Snapshot of the middle column show the practical task-oriented content, to help people restaurant reservations, guide or view the showtimes. Will be the most unique new feature is called the Sidebar, right-hand column to automatically give you the name of the help Facebook friends and other users on a particular issue.
Microsoft Snapshot of the new version will be the middle column can help people accomplish specific tasks, such as booking the hotel. Will be right-hand column Sidebar automatically displays the name of a particular issue can provide you with the help of friends and other users. Since May 15, approximately 20% of the Bing user page will automatically update to a new generation of search engines. The rest can be found by Bing.com / new experience of the new interface and Sidebar,. June 1, all the new features are automatically updated for all users.
In the past week, I tried the new version will be promising. Its interface is cleaner and clearer. Through individual and must be connected to your Facebook account or Twitter and will be recommended by the blog, Sidebar friend social integration, which will isolate Web search becomes a group activity. For example, search for Napa Valley Napa Valley restaurant, the system will intelligently show a recent upload from Napa album friends and colleagues of a home in the Napa Valley, as well as a well-known restaurant comment on the region bloggers. Sidebar will maintain a clean list of questions and answers, eliminating the need to find Facebook a reply to trouble.
Google (Google) Google + personal results with regular search results the combination, which caused a great deal of confusion. Are integrated with Google compared to Sidebar advanced.
However, the Sidebar will be faced with a challenge: people are not accustomed to such search.
Person who - although there is a problem asking ─ ─ will should be a clear recommendation - a lot of fun, but we usually search. Input will be a lot of things are quick Q & A Search, Sidebar program to wait for others to answer. May adapt to this new search way is just a matter of time, but I feel assured source of known and trusted network. (Friends on Facebook Do not take offense.)
Other partners including LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Quora will ultimately be included in the come in the Sidebar to help answer Bing. Several of which will be enabled later in the summer. So far, Twitter provides the largest source of users to answer users' questions.
Bing, senior director of Horowitz by Stefan Weitz, said that Bing will continue to make improvements. In late June or early July, in the questions, the users will be able to Bing do not think the friend mark in question. I search for a restaurant in Boston could help my gourmet and sister lived there for 11 years, although she does not automatically appear as a recommended source. Also, in my search in Kirkland, Washington, a Mexican restaurant called Cactus, near the "like" another Mexican restaurant in Seattle, a friend will pop up from my Sidebar.
I do not know this friend had been to Seattle, he is so like a Mexican restaurant in Seattle, on Facebook "like" it is the point of. Useful accidental experience may be enough to make continued use of Bing Sidebar,.
Bing Sidebar questions in a clumsy way with Facebook. If I asked three automatically be classified as friends may know my answer to this question will only appear on my Facebook page, and not been asked by page. They have to visit my Facebook page to see the answer, this additional step may prevent a sustained dialogue. Bing Sidebar an activity the feed will display the activities of all Facebook friends' questions, but more often people look at Facebook.
The new version will be the middle column Snapshot does not always display the contents. Tend to help people accomplish specific tasks, such as booking a hotel or a restaurant table for the display. Search the Washington, DC's Oval Room restaurant, the Snapshot will show a map of its location, TripAdvisor site four score, operating time, and went to OpenTable reservation link.
Starter Edition version will be from last week including Windows Phone, Apple (AAPL) iPhone, smart phones, including the Andrews (Android) phones and RIM BlackBerry (BlackBerry) run. The new version includes a cleaner interface, the Snapshot and Sidebar,. Microsoft says the new version will run on the Tablet PC will be in early July.
The new version will should certainly make people talking about it Sidebar might make you understand that a friend do not you know, the friend may help you make a decision. But before it becomes more accurate and have more partners, I would Sidebar with side dishes: it does not have a big impact on my search experience.
