As we begin 2010, we are stepping up that collaboration yet again. Here is a sense for what we are up to: First, we have deepened our joint work together on web search to provide even more compelling experiences to Facebook users with Bing. As part of this...

The office pool, big screen TV’s, great commercials, the half time show, friends and family.  These are all things that remind me of super bowl Sunday. However no game day is ever complete without a monumental spread of food. Now that we’ve shared some tips and trick to help prepare for the big game, time for the menu. I know in my house Nachos and Buffalo wings are a must to kick off the game and by the half time show we have the...

I have a confession to make: I’m a Valentine’s Day scrooge. Despite that, Valentine’s Day still sneaks up on me every year and while I might consider saying “Bah humbug” to Cupid, I just can’t. Duty calls, and because I have some very special family and friends in my life, I feel obligated to do a bit more than a drugstore greeting card and a box of stale heart candies. Whether you’re a scrooge like me or...

The Saints and the Colts may be our super star teams this year, but neither team takes home the title of most searched for on Bing. In fact, the most popular team on Bing didn’t even make it to the Conference Championship game this year. But their hunky quarterback drew enough attention for his actions off the field to make this team super popular on Bing. Oh and they also cut the ribbon on the biggest stadium known to man. If you haven...

I remember dreaming as a kid what other planets might be like, and I am sure my parents loved that I stuck all of those glow in the dark stars and planet stickers on the ceiling of my bedroom. I mean really, how many of those floating planet projects did we put together growing up? I’m sure that school projects are single handedly keeping the Styrofoam ball industry in business. To be young again! Why the sudden nostalgia for science class...

There are times I get to the end of the day and I am wondering where my day went. I am usually thinking this while looking at my “to do” list with nothing checked off and I am asking myself “how can I make this easier?” Well, the team at Bing has recognized this and is trying to make those everyday tasks easier to accomplish while giving you some time back. Some of you have already seen the recipe pages we launched recently...

Tomorrow we’ll be at the Sundance Film Festival at the world premiere of Para Fuera, An Intimate Portrait of Dr. Richard Bing.  As some of you may recall we talked about Dr. Bing last October on the occasion of his 100th birthday.  I still love that story about how we met (and it shows the power of a good fax these days in our overcrowded inboxes!) and I’ve told it and the lessons I’ve taken away from our meetings to...

Snow, sunshine, a good film or two and good company…does that sound like a good time to you?  Well it did to us, so we packed our bags (ok…Stefan and a few others packed their bags) and headed down to Park City, Utah to attend the Sundance Film festival. The Bing team will be down there showing the attendees how they can use Bing to navigate through Park City using Bing Maps, learn about the hottest films, and plan their...
