This month on Bing: holiday shopping, photo contest, new sports and weather experiences
This month at Bing we shipped several new experiences that help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
Holiday Shopping
With the holidays upon us, we have new tools to make it easy for you to search and discover the best deals on gifts.
Bing Shopping helps you save time by bringing together products from multiple sellers across the Web in to one search experience. Be it televisions, clothing and shoes, toys for your little ones, or gift baskets for your loved ones, you can compare across a wide range of products, filter your choices, compare prices, and visit the seller’s website where you can complete the purchase.
The Black Friday flyers page is a one stop shop to help you find Black Friday ads from across major stores in the US, saving you time mapping out your Black Friday strategy. So whether you are deal hunting or browsing specific stores, bookmark this page and visit it often to discover the latest deals as they are available.
Also in time for the holidays, we’ve increased the number of delivery services we support for package tracking, expanding our coverage from USPS, UPS, and Fedex in the US to coverage of several markets outside the US including myHermes in Great Britain and Purolator in Canada. Simply put your tracking ID in the search box, and Bing will present the latest tracking status right in the search result.
#AmplifyIngenuity Photo Contest
We also launched a #AmplifyIngenuity photo contest on 11/10 to help our users find inspiration in the ways humanity has used its intelligence to make a better future.
Users can share their favorite photos of science, technology, design, and performance for a chance to be featured on the Bing homepage and win the Powering Progress Prize Pack!
Historical weather and sports information
Bing has already got current weather and football information, but now you can check historical statistics for these topics.
For example, if you’re hoping to travel these holidays or even just plan what to do at home, you can find historical weather patterns to know what to better expect.
Similarly, you can now go beyond searching current NFL results, and can brush up on your pro football knowledge by checking results of historical games.
We hope you’re as excited by these releases as we are; we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback at User Voice!
