New Years 2010

I love the startup images and the mouse hover popup links attached to them.
Hover over the copyright symbol bottom right gives you image info.



This image led me to explore Sa paper art:


I went to Bing, then Images and selected popup "find computer wallpaper."
Saw some glass apples and pursued the artist info. (Creative Commons image.)



Found out what kind of 3D software was used and then discovered other 3D artists there as well.

David Arkenstone - Bing It

I've been trying out the Bing search engine and I like it more and more as I use it. I get better results than with Google sometimes. With images, I like the way Bing right away offers you a list of more sizes or similar images on mouse over.

Bing seems more dynamic and offers to take me interesting places I didn't know about. Makes searching more fun.

I downloaded and installed the Silverlight flash plugin so I could try the Visual Search.
That's nice too.

Bing Videos of David Arkenstone
Much nicer display format than Google.
If you hold the mouse cursor over videos, they play preview bites.

Last.fm has tons of tracks for Arkenstone.

I particularly like Land of the Tiger
And
The Journey Begins: Kyla's Ride

And Bing?
