Today, we are proud and happy to unveil to our developer community our new search brand, Bing. Bing is a powerful new Decision Engine designed to help consumers accomplish tasks and make faster, more informed decisions. For more details on Bing, check out the main Bing blog. Bing.com will be available to the world in the coming days; in the meantime visit http://www.decisionengine.com and follow us on Twitter (@Bing) for all the latest news.

So what does this mean to you? The API provides developers programmatic access to Bing, offering flexible options for building or enhancing your site or applications. You can learn more about the API here. And try your hand developing new search apps and saving money, the planet, or both in our Will Code for Green contest!

A couple of important notes:

  • All applications that worked yesterday will work today with no changes required
  • All use of the Bing API will have to reflect brand attribution by August 30th, 2009. If you are interested in using the API, please familiarize yourself with the amended terms of use.

  • I love the integrated site search box for best matches! :-) It will be interesting to see how that impacts our internal search volumes once Bing goes live to the public.

    Great work guys! :-)

  • Great works!

    It time to use bing.

  • It looks great.....

    Great improvement in terms of decision making..

    Bing rocks......

    Looking for more improvements in "NEWS" area.

  • I have been binging and have compared the results to Google and I have to admit that I am very positively surprised. The relevance is much better and very very quick. This could be huge as now atleast we have an alternative to Google.

  • agree with haresh....it looks great!  but i am also looking for more improvements in News especially the "Business" area.

    great start.

  • Need job opportunities from all works of life.

  • i am going to get one but some one said theya re not allowing new ones

  • i tell you "BING" will rule the hearts and minds of community. i wish all the success.

    "BING" is check mate to the "KING GOOGLE".

  • The BING Webmasters Tools Has Serious Issues. I ran my sites through it this morning and it reports that every one of my sites have crawl issues in every category. I've been a webmaster for years, and I guarantee that BING is absolutely returning the wrong results.

  • So finally Microsoft is back in business. Mean now online battle between Google and Microsoft has been started once again. One thing for sure, Bing is hundred times convenient then Yahoo search. Well Microsoft has record for being coolest online network because of its themes.

    But one thing which disappointed me about Bing is to not indexing the complete site if first page redirects it to site sub directory. Since I am User interface designer as well, so it really disappoints me that BING didn’t index my complete network.

    However my other network has been indexed by Bing completely.

    Hope Bing will attract most of Googlers to its network because of its cool look. But most important is to attract developers to its network, so developers can play their part in promoting it through their projects by giving Bing search in their sites.  

    wish ya all the best Guys! keep rocking

  • Let us make Bing the dominant search engine in the coming months and years. We, at Tamion, are designing a whole suite of neat applications around the Bing search engine that will make Bing significantly more useful. Stay tuned.

  • This is game changing technology.  Will you integrate it to Live CRM?

  • BING IS HERE... AND IT LISTED MY WEBSITE ON THE TOP :)

  • Overall I really like the site. The news feature, however, is TERRIBLE! Not intuitive or easily navigable to find what you're looking for. Would definitely like to see some improvements!
