Five updates they've released in the past two days are any indication; they are on track to do just that.
First up, they notified the Article 29 Working Party in Europe that they are reducing the amount of time they store IP addresses to just 6 months. Up until now, they have held on to the info for 18 months.
Secondly, they added current and trending news topics to their Autosuggest feature.
The last 3 updates are related to Bing Maps.
Bing Maps has removed the "beta" label! With the elimination comes the switch to the Silverlight maps for all US users. The switch will take up to about a week. And with the removal of the "beta" label comes the launch of 2 Maps Apps, which brings us to our last 2 Bing updates for this post.
The Local Events app helps you find stuff to do in your area. You can also find events by location and/or date and time.
Destination Maps is a sweet way to help out people originating from varying locations finds directions to a common location. For instance, if you have ever thrown a party, you know it's a pain to try and give specific directions to your home to all guests. So, you generally give the address and inform people to look it up online or GPS, right? With this application, you set the destination and then outline with a box the area including your guests' various locations and then the application gets down to the serious business of making certain your guests get there to your party (fashionably late, of course).
So there are five Bing updates that have been announced in the past 2 days. Go have fun with them.
