Microsoft launches Bing Travel for booking your next trip
Jun 4th
Greetings Readers!
As part of its new Bing search engine, Microsoft has launched Bing Travel. Bing Travel seems to be very much like every other travel service out there just with a look that is pleasing to the eye. So far, I don’t see anything that would make me jump from my favorite travel service (sidestep), but it does have some interesting selling points including price prediction, fare alerts and content from MSN Travel.
Bing Travel
I will hold of judgement on the service until I get a real chance to test it out, but if you are looking to make some travel plans in the near future, give Bing Travel a shot and let me know how you think it compares to services you have used before.
