Microsoft is continuing to spend, spend, spend to gets Bing’s market share to keep increasing. Today I was tweeted by @jont87 who informed me that the background of the International Movie Database is current a big Bing advert.

I don’t yet know if this is a global advertising partnership or if its just in the UK.

This might also be a two way deal because after doing a few searches for films, old and new, I have seen Bing showing the IMDB link to any film first; this might be the way Bing has always presented links for films but I just missed it.

This is the only site that I could find that had info on the Bing/IMDB deal! I think the ad looks really good, but just wonder how much of an impact this deal could have. It is great to see Microsoft really giving it a good go anyway, have also seen the Bing adverts appearing on our TV screens. All the best.

Thanks guys for letting me know, I have recieved quite a few hits from searches of IMDB and Bing. I am waiting to hear back from Bing UK about how well their marketing campaign has helped their market share in the UK.

"The Lumia 800 takes amazing pictures! Also, great post, really good. Microsoft is doing pretty interesting stuff for promoting their products and services this time. Pretty cool."

"So the original "we're going to name Windows 8 on ARM something that won't be associated with Windows 8" isn't going to happen? I thought that would've been the best and most beneficial path to take. Oh well, only time will tell I guess."

"[...] I have my fears about how Microsoft is going to handle Windows 8 for ARM devices; I think that if Windows 8 is used to describe both x86/x64 and ARM experiences even though they are different it is going to cause massive confusion for consumers. You can read about my idea for using the name Metro instead of Windows 8 for Windows 8 on ARM. [...]"

"Disappointing. I have no issues with the media controls. The number one request to developers was to add support for Bluetooth. Sort of embarrassing when I want to quickly transfer a file to a friend and I have to explain that my brand new Windows Phone can't do that. This is inexcusable. Bad enough we lost the ability to sync with Outlook as well as the USB mass storage device feature."
