Microsoft Reveals Bing Video Experience

Nov. 11, 2009 Paul Thurrott | Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows

Microsoft today expanded the capabilities of its Bing decision engine to include a new Bing Video destination that combines Bing video search and quality content from MSN Video.

The integrated experience provides a new online video destination that delivers a comprehensive and faster video experience with video search tools from Bing. This new experience offers the widest selection of high quality video services on the web including TV shows, videos, and content from top sites such as Hulu, MSN, ABC, and YouTube. The new Bing Videos experience begins rolling out today and will be fully available on both Bing and MSN by mid-November.

Here's the word from the Bing blog:

Turn off the lights (literally), share with your friends and kick back…you are about to see the latest Bing videos experience.

Starting today and rolling out over the next few days Bing videos will provide a new unified online video destination that delivers a comprehensive, organized, and high-quality video experience. This change will combine the powerful search experience of Bing, with the expertise of MSN video all into one destination.

With the New Bing Video you can now access videos from across the web, MSN’s array of high-quality videos, and videos from sites such as Hulu, ABC, and Youtube. Bing videos viewing options are nearly endless.

Check out the cool new home page which makes it easy to search and browse for the videos you want to see.

BEGINTRANSMIT! Clearly, this marks a new era for your primitive carbonoid beings. For you have now discovered the greatest power in the vast expanse of the universe- the ability to slap a new logo onto one thing and market it as something else! Be careful with this new power, earth-dwellers. Use it wisely. It is your key to destiny. ENDTRANSMIT!

now you're calling it a 'decision engine'?? If it were anyone but Microsoft you'd be deriding it as the goofy marketing speak it is.

Bing - What planet should I conquer first? "What planet should I conquer first? - Yahoo! Answers Best Answer: Mongo, yes, definitely Mongo. "Mongo's surface is host to a variety of climates and biomes. Part of the planet is covered by the forest realm of Arboria, ruled by Prince Barin " Thank you, decision engine!

Commander, if carbanoid beings are primitive, what, may I ask, is your base element?

gfrey, if I'm not mistakent, Paul has called Bing a decision engine as long as Microsoft has.

de silentio: not really. he's relayed that that's what they're calling it typically in press releases. But really he should have ridiculed that marketing speak from the start. It's a search engine... an ok one.

Why can't it be a decision engine? It helps you make decisions, does it not? I will agree that, by my understanding of decision engine, every other search engine is included. It's just the case that no other search engines call themselves decision engines.

"Why can't it be a decision engine?" Simple. I'm not asking the Internet to make up my mind for me. I'm searching for information. When someone creates software that makes up my mind for me when I type in something like: "I'm hungry, what do I want to eat? Fries or Salad?" then they can call said software a "decision engine". Until then, it's called a search engine. I agree with gfryesc1. It's goofy marketing speak.

Bing has no chance against Google. They got their initial increase in share, and it's started to go back down and settle where Microsoft's online search has always been. Dead.

So, for it to be a decision engine it has to make all your decisions for you, not just some? I'm sure I can conjure up some decisions that it can make for me. That would make it a decision engine, no?

"Bing has no chance against Google. They got their initial increase in share, and it's started to go back down and settle where Microsoft's online search has always been. Dead." I don't think any search engine has much of a chance against google. ...I miss AskJeeves. Ask.com lacks the butler.

"robertsjoe said: Bing has no chance against Google." Personally, I don't care. I use Bing almost exclusively now. I'm quite happy with it.

BTW: robertsjoe said: Microsoft admits to copying OS X in Windows 7. www.appleinsider.com/.../microsoft_official_admits_windows_7_design_inspired_by_mac_os_x.html" How we really designed the look and feel of Windows 7. http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/11/11/how-we-real... "An inaccurate quote has been floating around the Internet today about the design origins of Windows 7 and whether its look and feel was “borrowed” from Mac OS X. Unfortunately this came from a Microsoft employee who was not involved in any aspect of designing Windows 7. I hate to say this about one of our own, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed. http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2008/11/20/happy-anniversary-windows-on...

Before this comments section closes, I was just playing devil's advocate. Decisions engine does sound like marketing speech, but good marketing speek nonetheless.
