Bing MeI have become obsessed with Bing.com. I first saw it advertised in a commercial on TV and at the time I did not know exactly what it was as the commercials were a bit unclear. It was obviously a web site of some kind, and seemed to be some sort of search engine, yet based on the ad's it also seemed to be something more than just a search engine, so one day when I was bored I decided to check it out to see just what the deal was.
As it turns out it is a search engine that is designed to act as a sort of travel directory, the information and such it provides seems geared mostly toward things relating to travel, so as a search engine I never actually use it, but for its homepage, ever day it has a new photograph up, and they are photos taken of unusual are really cool things from all over the world.
Sometimes they are just really cool nature/scenery photographs from somewhere, or sometimes cool animal photographs, or photos of something unique, in jive with the main focus of the search engine they are things that are like tourist attractions, but everyday I have to pop onto bing just to see what the new photo will be.
Also the photos are semi-interactive, each photo has three hidden little links in it and when you roll your most over them, it gives some information about what is portrayed in the photo and provides additional links if you want even further information about it.
Today's photo was of this unusual bit of artwork known as Carhenge in Nebraska I think it was, and it was a replica of Stonehenge made up all of old cars that had been painted silver.
