BING The New Way To Search The Internet In Suffolk

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty

BING the new way to search the internet in Suffolk.  I just opened the browser on my smartphone and it came up with a new name called BING.  I usually use YAHOO so didn't know what that was all about.  It is a new search engine from Microsoft.  It is just crazy useful depending on the phone you have.  On the Blackberry Curve it turns on the phones microphone so that you can talk to it.  YOU DON"T HAVE TO TYPE, JUST TALK (watch out for big brother). 

If you have a web site for your real estate listing, a buyer driving by just has to say the address and the listing would pop up.  How cool is that.

Being on Verizon this is pretty nifty because you can't use the built in GPS for navigating but you can turn the GPS on and BING will find you.  You can get directions from where you are to where you need to get to without having to enter your starting position.  I think this puts it more on keel with Google's new operating system.  It doesn't give let me use the voice commands on my Motorola phone.

  1. Visit www.bing.com using any browser on a computer or from your mobile device.

  2. Enter a search term in the box and hit enter (return) or click on the magnifying glass.

  3. The site defaults to the "explore" mode, however, there are other categories from which to begin your search. These include images, videos, shopping, news, maps and travel.

  4. Bing will deliver results based on your search term. Click the result which appears most relevant, and you will be directed to that site.

  5. If shopping is your focus, there are merchants offering cash back on certain items found through Bing.

  6. Bing maps is a very useful component of the search site. Use it to find local business, get directions or explore a place.

Wow Gene, I didn't know BING could do all that! Thank you for the heads up. I have a Verizon Omnia and I use Opera Mobile for my Internet browsing. I wonder if Bing will work better than that!  Happy New Year!
