Since Bing launched in June of 2009, the search world has changed for the better. Weβre helping people break free from search overload and enabling them to make decisions with Bingβs powerful, friendly tools. Weβre attracting new users and changing how people think about Microsoft and Search. We have a long road ahead and we need your help! Key to our continued success in this hypercompetitive space is taking enormous volumes of data and turning them into useful, actionable information to drive increased user engagement through great Bing features and improvements. Weβre talking petabytes of data about how searches succeed, how they fail, and how we can improve Bing and our partner properties like maps, commerce, travel, and more.
