Microsoft has unvield its new Bing Bar, a free browser toolbar designed by Microsoft which has many greatest and latest features. To make use of the toolbar, u will have to download the Bing Toolbar, which collects information about your computer and searches, as well as the addresses of the websites you visit.
Bing Bar works with Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) or later on PCs running Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Its key features include Facebook and email integration, as well as the ability to push breaking news, traffic, and weather information to you.
Facebook fans can get status updates simply by clicking the Facebook icon on the Bing Bar. A dropdown window shows a quick snapshot of what your Facebook friends are up to.
You'll see your news feed, notifications, messages, and friend requests. You can "like" items in the Facebook window, and post status updates and comments too. Bing Bar's toolbar's push capabilities are impressive. If you get a friend request, for example, it'll appear as a pop-up notification.
As you surf, Bing Bar studies every move you make. Log onto you Gmail account, for instance, and a pop-up asks if you'd like to add Gmail to the Bing Bar. Click "Yes," and the toolbar grabs your login credentials, and displays your email messages in a dropdown box. To read a message in a new window, click it. To write an email, click the Compose icon in the upper right corner of the Bing Bar email window.
When there's breaking news on Bing, you'll get a message about it. Or you can click the News icon to read the latest headlines from Bing's news page. The toolbar provides weather and traffic information for your city as well.
