Bing search now finally rebranded to Microsoft Bing

Microsoft has finally decided to own the Bing search engine, literally. The platform gets rebrand this week and will be called Microsoft Bing. This change also includes a new logo. And part of the company overall efforts to keep Bing relevant in the market. Nobody knows the actual reason behind this change.

“Starting today, you will see a shift in product to Microsoft Bing, which reflects the continued integration of our search experiences across the Microsoft family,” Microsoft highlighted in this post.

Bing from Microsoft launches global coronavirus tracker

Earlier this year,  Microsoft’s Bing team launched a web portal that is tracking COVID-19 infections across the globe. The website provides up-to-date infection statistics for each country and is accessible at bing.com/covid. The site features an interactive map that allows visitors to click to see country-specific information. This includes a number of cases and related articles from various publishers. The data is picked up from sources like World Health Organization (WHO). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
