Forgive me for being stupid, but I thought this was cool...

shilala · 04-08-2010, 07:13 AM

I was going to youtube to cue up a playlist while I worked, and forgot my .com in my search bar. It ended up taking me to the Youtube return at Bing.
It threw up a whole page of thumbs, and when I mouse over them, it plays snippets of the songs. I just thought that was incredibly cool, never saw it before, thought some of you guys might think it's cool, too.
Here's the url if you want to check it out.

If thinking that's cool means you're stupid, then I'm duuummmmb.

Freaking sweet. I wonder if the vids it displays are "most played" or "best rated" or just random.

Any way, thanks!

Great find!

No need to create power hour playlists anymore

I messed with it a little bit, Crystal. I think it's pulling up stuff based on my favorites at youtube. Not sure how they'd know, but it appears that's what is happening. Probably tracks my traffic at youtube?
I kinda wondered how long it's been around, and was shocked that Microsoft did something cool that they didn't steal from someone else. They probably stole the idea anywyas, but it's still cool.

That is cool. Not to thread jack but give "grooveshark.com" a try too. I love that site.

Lord I hope not. Google is an AJAX nightmare already.

DonWeb · 04-09-2010, 09:02 PM

Yes sir ... I think I like it.

Bing is a pretty cool thing in all honestly once you get past the name

Hard to take it seriously.

I typically still use google because I'm not after a lot of the fluff.

That is a great find. Damn that Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist. I have listened to that a dozen times over the years and it keeps finding me.
