Major search engines are always trying to come up with big developments to improve their services and competitiveness. Two of the search giants have already announced their new developments – Google and MSN.
Bing Info
Bing was unveiled recently by Microsoft and many internet users have already tried using the site. In fact, a few days ago the site ranked second, beating Yahoo that only ranked third. Recent commercials also have attractive pitches to encourage users to visit Bing and check it out. Some of the highlights of the site are the following:
Task/Decision Sessions – the main goal of Bing is to assist the basic searches of internet users like that of flight information. When you type a keyword or phrase on the search toolbar, you will get results depending on your current location.
Enhanced video – if you’re searching for videos, Bing has better capabilities in providing related results. However, some users complained that most of the results are irrelative and repeated.
Simplified results – results can be quickly navigated since the SERPs are categorically grouped. On the SERPs initial page, you can find more listings.
Most internet users think that Bing is an excellent site but it sill needs some improvements in some aspects. Link builders will benefit greatly from the task/decision sessions. By focusing your efforts and techniques in conformity with Bing’s guidelines, you can get better results.

Wave is a new collaboration and communication tool offered by Google through videos just recently. Many internet users have already seen it and most of them were impressed. The tool is open source and it’s like a combination of Facebook, Twitter, Google Search, and G-Mail. You can find relevant info at Mashable.
