Microsoft’s online and mobile-based location-finding software Bing introduces ‘Bing Events’ today. Dare we say, it’s a little like Facebook Events, but making the most of the dedicated places-of-interest search platform Bing will provide a “fully comprehensive listing with all details need to ensure a fun night out” – Sounds good to us!
A fellow blog site got the scoop on the newest social enhancement feature and reveals the details which includes a search engine for entertainment venue or a band, adding the word ‘event’ to your search and, believe it or not, Bing will provide you with a list of related results and this can be used to plan something on short notice for tonight, or something in a couple weeks time.
It’s pretty versatile, and offers location information on 90,000 events at 10,000 entertainment venues across the United Kingdom. If there’s nothing on in your quiet little town, Bing will provide you with events close by, and you can tailor your search to how far you’re willing to travel and what type of event you want to attend. There’s Concerts – or if you prefer a more quiet night out Bing Events also brings up less rowdy activites such as Performing Arts or Fairs & Festivals.
