Bing is attempting to differentiate itself with a nicer "reference"
page. Wikipedia quote at the top. (We're famous enough now that I
could say "of course.")
The search up top says "Search Wikipedia". The thing that caught my
eye in the article (and the results) was it actually searches Freebase
as well!
I think Freebase is rather underappreciated, particularly amongst us
encyclopedia nerds ... it's sorta at a Wikipedia 2003/4 stage of
development. So it's nice to see Microsoft giving them some attention.
