Microsoft brings Groupon like functionality to Bing, calls it Bing Deals

Tweet

For Microsoft’s Bing to succeed against the gigantic Google, the Redmondians need a lot of user base. In order to achieve this goal, Microsoft has rolled out a new feature for its decision engine which they are calling Bing Deals. This feature is meant for shopping fanatics and bargain hunters who are always on the lookout for sizzling deals.

Those who are familiar with Groupon will have no trouble using the Deals feature offered by Bing. Bing Deals works by providing you access to more than 200,000 unique offers in over 14,000 cities and towns. Not only can you search the best offers there are, you can also share it with your friends and family members.

Currently Bing Deals is limited to US users only and can be accessed via Desktop and official site (m.bing.com). The functionality will be rolled out for other markets at a later stage.

Android and iPhone users can get this same feature by downloading the official Bing app from the respective App Stores. Windows Phone 7 users won’t be getting this feature just yet since the functionality requires HTML5 whose support is yet to be implemented in Microsoft’s glance and go experience offering Windows Phone OS.
