Bing Officially Shuts Down Bing Shopping

In August, Microsoft announced they will close Bing shopping. Bing replaced it with Product Search, which simply integrates product results within Bing search results rather than in a separate destination.

Today, if you try to go to the Bing Shopping destination, i.e., bing.com/shopping — you are redirected to Bing’s home page.

Bing is using a 301 redirect, so this is a very permanent change.

Merchants who want to be included in Bing Product Search can do so both with paid an organic, non-paid, ways.

No More Saved Searches in G +

Google+ had a cool feature that allowed you to save searches. It's no longer available and all your saved searches will be removed in a few weeks.

Well that's not very good. There's a world of difference between a saved search that emails you every time something new appears near the top of the results, and a bookmark that you have to actually check for yourself and then work out which results are new and which are the boring ones you already saw..

I guess the real difference is that with the bookmark you get to see all those lovely.

Google shows this message when you click one of the saved searches: "Saved searches” are going away. Bookmark this page on your browser to save your Google+ search for later."

There's even an article that explains how to bookmark a search results page. "Browser bookmarks replace the earlier 'Save this search' option in Google+. You can access any existing saved searches from the Home > More menu until November 15, 2013."

I used this feature to save searches like #googleplusupdate.
