FYI, this story is more than a year old

Microsoft has released a re-engineered Bing bar it says has been designed from the ground up to give users quick access to all the stuff you do online.

"Conducting a search, checking Facebook or keeping tabs on email, Bing Bar centralises the most common things you do while helping you discover new features that let you get the most out of Bing. Because we know you don't have time to read manuals or watch 'how to' videos, Bing Bar exposes features so you can find what you need and get more done," the firm says.

In a lengthy post explain the new Bing bar, Bing's Joshua Schnoll says, "People told us that they spend a huge amount of time on Facebook these days, and we are building on our relationship with Facebook to bring a great web experience to our joint customers.

"We use the notification capabilities to let you know that you have new activity on your Facebook account, so you can stay connected no matter what you're doing on the web."

Here's a video explain the changes. Anyone out there using Bing care to let us know how great the changes are?
