Bing is attempting to differentiate itself with a nicer "reference" page. Wikipedia quote at the top. (We're famous enough now that I could say "of course.") The search up top says "Search Wikipedia". The thing that caught my eye in the article (and the results) was it actually searches Freebase as well! I think Freebase is rather underappreciated, particularly amongst us encyclopedia nerds ... it's sorta at a Wikipedia 2003/4 stage of development. So it's nice to see Microsoft giving them some attention. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
