Bing Gets Prettier: Adds Pinterest Boards To Image Search

Bing Gets Prettier: Adds Pinterest Boards To Image Search | Techy Stuff | Scoop.it
Bing has beefed up its image search by bringing Pinterest boards to its image search results. Go to Bing Image Search and type in your keyword.
Patty Ball's insight:

"Visual search has become richer and search engines – both Google and Bing – have tweaked their algorithms to make it more accurate. Bing says that it recognizes the trend that the most interesting pictures on the web are being collected by people, not computers i.e. curators who are using platforms like Pinterest to collect images aligned with their interests. As Pinterest’s popularity has proved, curated collections are not only creative outlets, but also a searchable mine for ideas. Searching for ideas on hairstyles, fashion, gifts etc. are a perfect match for a visual search and Pinterest is one of the sources anyone can tap. Visit the blog (linked below) for more examples on display." From MakeUseOf.com
