Bing is here!

We announced the imminent arrival of Bing last week and the excitement has been building ever since. Beginning today, www.Bing.com opens its front door worldwide. Welcome! We hope you enjoy the new experience and can’t wait to hear your feedback.

Want some sample queries to try? Check out “Nordstrom,” “Fedex,” “Seattle Mariners,” “Justin Timberlake,” “fitness,” “flights from SAN to JFK,” or “Canon cameras.” We think you’ll like what you find.

If you’re trying to access Bing from other entry points, like toolbars, you may still get the old Live Search experience for a few days, but we expect to be fully deployed as Bing across all search entry points by June 3. 

We have another exciting announcement to make today which you’re experiencing as we speak – the unveiling of our new Bing Community site (bing.com/community). We’ve designed this new community site as a way to engage, educate and excite you – the community – on all things Bing.  Through the new site, we’re aggregating all our relevant Bing blogs, forums, rich media and event information in one place where you can get your fill of all Bing topics including webmaster content, developer info, mapping updates, Powerset or the latest info from Bing Travel.

We’re very excited about the new community and would love your feedback. Visit the forums, comment on blog posts and get into the conversation!
