"The Sound of Found"

Oops, wrong Bing.

Link to May 28 New York Times article, "Microsoft’s Search for a Name Ends With a Bing".

Excerpt: Bing, the name Microsoft gave to the new search service it unveiled Thursday, is its answer to Google — a noun that once meant little but has become part of the language as a verb that is a synonym for executing a Web search. After months of, uh, searching, Microsoft settled on Bing to replace the all-too-forgettable Live Search, which itself replaced MSN Search.

A 2:46 demo is found here.

According to this corporate announcement, Bing goes worldwide on Wednesday, June 3.
