Microsoft's New Search Engine Puts Porn in Motion (FoxNews)

Bing, Microsoft's new search engine (www.bing.com), went live in the U.S. this weekend, aiming to challenge and possibly unseat industry titan Google.

But bloggers and Internet safety experts quickly discovered that one of Bing's "features" is that it takes only a few clicks for anyone — of any age — to view explicit pornographic videos without even leaving the search engine.


In its bid to beat Google, Microsoft has unveiled a slate of convenient features for Bing, including an "autoplay" tool that lets users preview videos simply by hovering a mouse over them.


That asset may become a liability, because users can get a taste of porn videos on Bing instead of having to go to a smutty Web site — an innovation other search engines have yet to offer.

As if tube sites and the terrible economy weren't enough problems for the adult industry, now we have another issue. If Bing users can watch videos from adult sites on Bing without visiting them, that means that those Bing users won't see affiliate links on those sites. Let's all hope that Bing is as shitty as all of Microsoft's prior search engine efforts.
