Writing for the Web is not much same as writing for print. As the first demads a much more concise style than the later.

It is clear if  you ever tried to read your local newspaper online? How about The Hindu or The Wall Street Journal? It just isn't the same. Do you know why?  Because articles desplayed in the screen is not much easier to read as those published in print.

How the web is different?

1. Because  typical computer monitors have a resolution of 96 dpi. Compare that with a printout from a laser printer that has a resolution of 600 dpi, or a magazine page that can be upwards of 2400 dpi. And more over the text on computer screen places a strain on reader's eyes.
2. Words can be hyperlinked to other pages and URLs
   This is the greatest advantage of web pages. We can link words and images in to other web pages, photos, videos, sounds, blogs, chat forums etc.

How to write for the web.?

1. Write less cause 'less is more'
   Because of the strain placed on readers when reading on a computer screen, you can't expect them to read a 2,000 word article. Research has shown that most readers tend to scan an article before reading. Articles longer than 1,000 words will likely turn off your audience and result in few people reading your article.
2. Write brief paragraphs
   You should condense your writing to include only the most crucial points and eliminate everything else. Put only the  the necessary content and leave the rest out.
3. Utilize headings and lists
   As i have already said people tend to scan web articles as opposed to reading them from the first word to the last. So you should use heading to make them easy to find out what they are looking for. A great way to turn a print article into a readable web article is to transform it into a top 10 list. Lists make it easy for readers to scan and read only what they are interested in.
4. Use  hyperlinks 
   Hyper links are the primary advantage of a web writer. It hsould be used often. Linking allows you to provide the reader with a roadmap of information.  Common things to link include reference pages, news sources, audio and video, forums, and applications that will enhance the reading experience.

Now i conclude with the last but very importent point that never try to do all these by yourselves but seek a professional content writer.

Microsoft always had a lower hand in the search engine in compare with Google, Yahoo and others. Google being the leader in the search engine, has never being targetted by any other search engine company. Google use intense coding to make it search engine the best in the world and it is always based on the keywords.

Microsoft always tried to match up with the Google, yet was always lagging behind due to some of the functionality and many more which made Google give a upper hand. With the search engine market getting bigger and bigger, with many companies opting for search, ads, and needing to get traffic on the respective pages. So everyone search engine providers are trying hard to catch this multi billion dollar search engine market.

Microsoft had its own search called MSN search which went to Live Search, yet the results not as per expected by Microsoft in compare with Google. Microsoft after long research developed a search a engine, which may be give an edge to Microsoft on Google. It unveiled it search in the month of May, with the Beta version all over world and complete version only in United States.

Microsoft name it search engine as "BING". Now no one know what does BING stands. However there are rumours andjokes stating that BING may stand - But its not Google. BING release give good boost for Microsoft in space of search engine. Within the release of the search engine. Bing reached the No. 1 spot in the first 2 weeks. This means that Microsoft atlast found something competatitive for Google. Bing is available only US, with full features.

This comprises of :

1) Complete version of Bing is not available outside US. The complete version is available in US only. If you would like to know how the complete version then you will need to change your setting to US English for the country. Go to this Page

2)You can track your favorites companies directly from IE toolbar. This how it will work. If you searching for companying (Oracle), Bing will create a slice and save in your favorites and next time you dont need search for it. Just a click away. However, you will need IE 8 for this.

3) You can always save and Email search results on to a local folder or on the Microsoft virtual drive(skydrive)

4) Now Bing has gone to be a mobile browser also. You can download bing on your mobile by going to m.bing.com. You will need to make certain changes for the Country once you are on the bing home page.

5) If you are using the complete version of Bing. Then you also have a cashback options. However, this applicable only for the US region.

My Review for the Bing. If you would like to know the full functionality of Bing, change the country setting to United States- English. Then enjoy using Bing. The search is much faster than Google. However, the search pages does not match some time for the both the search engine.

Webpage Search The result shown by Bing are more than Google. One exiciting that I like in Bing was it displays the content when you move your mouse on the respective webage details (Snapshot view). On the left hand side you will complete details of the search results.

Image Search Then you have Image search, which I think you will not seen on any search engine till date. You have option to change size, layout, color, style and people. You can searc a similiar image, provide your feedback on the image and many more.

Video Search Then you have vidoe search, which will exactly give you the video that you are search, wherein you decide on following options Length of video, screensize, resolution, sources(where you have all the top rated video website) The most important question goes it what is BING.
