The unfortunate news of Michael Jackson’s death created havoc on the Internet. As the initial reports regarding the death of the pop star started coming in late on Thursday night, a large number of people searched for information. The Internet traffic was so great that Google management thought the server of the website was under attack.
The statistics of Microsoft also confirmed that the Internet traffic enquiring about Michael Jackson had been flowing in at unusually large numbers. Microsoft officials have accepted that Bing News could have handled the upsurge in a better way.
When people started searching about Michael Jackson in Bing News, the website failed to flash the recent stories on the top priority basis. Although Bing News had the report about Michael Jackson’s death, the news remained hidden at the bottom of the page. While ideally, under the circumstances, the report of Michael Jackson’s should have been the top news, the site was showing image results.
Sources have revealed that Microsoft has a tool known as “news go big” which it can use when a specific news item takes the world by storm. If the tool was used in Bing News, the search results would have been search specific and could have tackled the staggering Internet traffic in a much better way.
You can’t really blame Bing. that event was so global that even Google thought that it was a malware attack on its service. twitter service was down.
but bing is at least one step of google, it is adding twitter search results as part of its pages.
