Bing updates and took the opportunity to highlight its encouraging progress, which would be on the back of Google.
Since a few days, US Internet users confident their search engine Bing of Microsoft are benefiting from a new interface. The latter is being deployed in Europe and particularly in France, and displays a redesigned home screen, more adapted to the display of the search engine on the shelves according to the Publisher. Idem, the results pages have been cleaned. On the other hand, the new community features launched in the United States have them, not even crossed the Atlantic. Idem, the search for images that have a new algorithm is not yet available here.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference, Microsoft managers responsible for Bing explained that Google sees its reputation and its brand down following the controversies that have had courses concerning its practices relating to the personal data of Internet users. They see a good opportunity for Bing to propose a relevant alternative, showing with graphics that Bing continues to gain on the back of Google market share. Thus on the past year, Bing market share would have progressed 14.38-15.41%, and even 25,63% taking into account all of the portals integrating research by Bing, as Yahoo.
Research results more sanitized...
Best, according to the exposed information, the rate of relevance of the results of Bing would for the first time surpassed those of Google. Over the past three years, Google saw its rate of relevance of 55.1% to 59.9%, while at the same time that Bing climbs from 51% to 61.4%. Unfortunately, impossible to know how these figures are obtained. And without clearly exposed methodology, this remains of the illustration without value. Damage.
Once is not custom, let's start with the end... That is to say the Google Glasses that the giant has presented any end of its Google I/O conference. It is of course the most surprising announcement, because even if we had already heard about these Google goggles, no one dared imagine that their marketing would be announced as quickly. It is therefore Sergei Brin who climbed on stage to introduce them, with a small staging spectacular well-oiled as Americans know so well to do.
Finally, let's finish this account of advertising products Google I/O by the product whereas, one for which there was more surprise to hope: the Nexus tablet. As agreed, it is in the format "7 and is meant to be a real competitor to the Kindle Fire of Amazon, with his own aggressive tariff, with a sale price to $ 199.
A few hours before the opening of the Google I/O 2012 conference scheduled to take place in the late afternoon (18 h 30 GMT + 1), + Google launches a new modification of the behaviour of its module "+ 1". Hallmark of its social network, the firm of Mountain View will display a few weeks for all of its members to the recommendations of reading on the pages visited, flying over button + 1.
Yesterday was held the Conference long-awaited Google involving its mapping service Google Maps. Broadcasted live on the Internet, the Mountain View giant has shown that its application now allows more than previously, with for main news, the 3D display at 45 ° in a fluid manner and the passage in offline mode of portions of map for the Globetrotters.
The second announcement is much more impressive because this time the recovery in three dimensions at 45 ° view of Google Earth is much more representative que cubic buildings que we had up to now. The demonstration video available just after appears fluid, but we wonder if this be as much on older models or even entry-level smartphones models still in mono core.
