Bing Wave 2 Becomes Tsunami: Social Sharing, Travel and Health
In addition to the three updates we told you about earlier today, Bing has a bunch more as part of Bing Wave 2. Just like they other updates, they're rolling out over the course of days, so you may not see them all right away.
Share Search Results
When you get the Bing update, you'll be able to share individual search results with your social networks on Facebook and Twitter. You can also email a search result.
Travel
From the homepage, you'll be able to hover over "Travel" and get options to go directly to options to search airfares and hotels.
When you're in Bing Travel, you'll see a new interactive Instant Answer that lets you plug in your travel dates to narrow your search from the beginning.
Enhanced city results will help you plan your stay, including events at your destination:
Health
Bing says they've also updated their Health results. The results are more organized so you can access the information you're really looking for.
What do you think of this round of Bing updates? Wave your opinion hello in the comments below.

With this round of updates, I think people are going to take Bing and Microsoft a bit more seriously.
I wonder what other changes they have coming up?

I agree with Nigel on this because Bing is still starting up but these updates are definitely a good idea and will be good to see what other updates they roll out in the future.

Both Google and Bing have a lot new updates on their search engines. We, as users, have a lot to gain from this competition. We should expect more improvements on these sites.
