Microsoft is rolling out the new Bing Videos site aimed at bringing a new unified online video destination.  The new Bing Video site combines Bing’s video search engine and MSN video site.

In addition, the new Bing video site also lets you access videos across the web including those videos from MSN video, Hulu, ABC, and YouTube.This practically translates to over 900+ T.V. shows

Bing videos was also re-organized to make it easier to navigate through the different video content and find the exact videos that you want to watch. And to make your video viewing session more pleasant, you can always turn on the “dim the lights” feature and enjoy watching videos online.  Great if you have that new iMac  or a MacBook hooked up on a 52″ Samsung plasma Tv.

If this is any indication of the trend to come in the search engine market, it looks like Yahoo might be in serious trouble while Google may be slightly threaten. Bing is still in preview mode and yet it has made a significant impact in the search market trend already, even if it was only for one day.

As expected,  Microsoft’s official announcement of its new search engine aka decision engine, aka vertical search engine aka Bing or whatever you may want to call it, has created quite a buzz.  Bing, which is internally called Kumo is described by Microsoft as – “a new Decision Engine and consumer brand, providing customers with a first step in moving beyond search to help make faster, more informed decisions. “

Essentially, Bing would consists of four vertical search areas that would help users in making purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition or finding a local business. Search results for these areas could be better filtered down into images, videos, shopping, news, maps or travel.

Another way of looking at Bing is as a tool for navigating through the information overload commonly provided by pure web search engine results.  According to Steve Ballmer:

“When we set out to build Bing, we grounded ourselves in a deep understanding of how people really want to use the Web. Bing is an important first step forward in our long-term effort to deliver innovations in search that enable people to find information quickly and use the information they’ve found to accomplish tasks and make smart decisions.” ::Full content::
