Bing – is the Purple Cow

Bing continues to see a number of enhancements – and seems to be garnering attention and gaining small amounts of market share. Bing is becoming the Purple Cow, remarkable in its features.

Today, the Bing team rolled out visual search, which allows searchers to find product information from a scrollable interface (does require SilverLight), then using filters in the navigation, narrowing down your search visually to find the info you need.

Some of the searches are just amazing to play with – I particularly like movies at the cinema and the awesome digital camera search (try that and narrow down the features you need to get to a cool gallery of the right cameras).

It even appears that Bing is a BETTER place to search for iPhone applications than iTunes itself.
