Bing.com went down for 30 minutes and displayed an error today according to my favorite blog Mashable.com. It wasn’t a huge error Microsoft, so don’t worry, you’re still in the runnings to become America’s next top search engine.

To compete with Google News, Bing has a news aggregation page at http://www.bing.com/news. I’m not sold on the layout yet, as the first main listings in the center don’t resonate with me. I’d much rather see several main topics and news stories rather than 2 that Bing thinks are most relevant. However, on the left are major categories like “World,” “US,” and “Local.” On the far right are news listing based on the user’s set location.

The videos of the day are too far down the page. By moving them up, Bing could really make this page more user friendly.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be revisiting Bing News again to get my daily dose of “What’s going on in the world.” I’ll stick to Google, Yahoo, and CNN.
