Reviews of Popular Websites

Bing is a popular search engine powered by Microsoft. Formerly known as MSN Search, Live Search and Windows Live Search, Bing has been unveiled by Microsoft in 2009. As the company had more than 10 year experience in search engine technology, Bing has been designed to understand the customer behavior and needs helping them lead to more informed decisions. It seems that Microsoft was very serious about Bing's great design with new user interface.  The web crawl of the company is called MSNBot. It is reported that Bing was able to amass 49.57 million unique visitors in its first month and rang in at 1.1 billion for the month of August of 2009.  Although this search engine is an alternative to Google search it can’t be Google-killer anyway. Bing features some similar resources  like Google, for example Bing Translator, Bing Maps and Bing Webmaster Central. However I found also some important areas that Bing is able to beat Google; check them below. 

Bing takes  online shopping experience which is today an essential to find the best deal online. The search results provide information such as pictures, product pricing, and description.

For travelers and businessman Bing search engine offers Bing Travel feature that helps them to find the best deals on flights and hotel accommodations. It is reported that more than 45% of online travel arrangements begin with a search engine, so be sure Bing is your first thing you can do to find your needed directions.

If you are searching for  hospitals, clinic, or any other keyword related to medication, then Bing Health is on the board. The Health answers and information at the top of the results page can be free and helpful information  that you need them likely.

Skreened is an online on-demand and customized clothing retailer. The main offers that you can find at Skreened are customized T-shirts,bags and child and baby apparel. Like Zazzle Skreened uses a built-in program at their site allowing users to design T-shirts with various styles and colors.  For garments  Skreened uses American Apparel and is thought to print  down soft, durable, full color products thanks to their new technology called Direct to Garment or DTG.  The company was found in 2006 by Daniel Fox and Mike Limes without any investment. Over the years Skreened has given to several organizations and has got over over 2,651 online shops.

What sets the company apart from others are three Skreened ethics:

Practically I like the way the company works and easiness that Skreened has set to its business. When purchasing and item from Skreened you don’t need to have an account or be signed in, but for setting up your own galleries on Skreened you do need, of course. The interface of the T-shirt creation tool is also very easy allowing you to make your custom product with just a few simple steps. Although Skreened has not been around nearly as long as Cafepress and Zazzle it is considered as a serious competitor to these sites.The appeal for selling environmentally friendly shirts and products is a big plus, but when comparing it to other company Skreened lacks with their limited shirt and gift choices. No matter, the company has  just started its activity and I think it has real chances to grow and become as much popular.  Skreened features a company blog at skreened.wordpress.com. You can also follow the company on Facebook or Twitter.
