(c) One Click Directions
Searching for directions is made easier with Bing. When you search for location, you can save time because you are provided with the nearest main route to destination that you are looking for. For online marketing entrepreneurs who always travel, this service feature really provides convenience for business activities. Door-to-door directions are easily given without multi-steps of directions to take. Current traffic feature is a great additional map feature.
(d) Scorecard
When looking for an establishment and its services, the scorecard feature provides you reviews and consumer feedback. Reviews and feedback are also a factor to decide whether to choose the business for your benefit or not.
(e) Bing Maps
Sharing location information is also easily accessible with Bing Maps. Aerial or bird’s eye imagery of the location in high resolution is just a click away. This search feature has a great potential to compete with Google Maps.
These top 5 search features of Bing may have not scared Google, but I am sure that the world’s largest and leading search engine is alarmed and challenged to further improve its search service features. If Google would not take action to Bing’s existence, time will come that Bing will totally lead the search market; Google, like Yahoo, would be left behind in the internet search race.
