Allan Bell Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sometimes "Bing (1)" appears under "xx users are reading this topic". Despite attempts to find out who/what Bing (1) is not had any success. Any ideas? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite attempts to find out who/what Bing (1) is not had any success. Any ideas? Allan It's Microsoft's version of a search engine. It also has lots of images displayed without payment to creators http://www.bing.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks Alex. Allan Edit PS just looked at bing site and under "images" typed my name in the search box. Loads of my images came up including an avatar I have on another site. VERY DISCONCERTING! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidC Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just for fun (!) - very slow broadband - I did the same ..... Farsands and Farsands of me - many very ugly - some even dead - very few pictures by me but lots of me - my policy of making it difficult to obtain personal details seems to be working - I am everything from a Holocaust denier - to a cello player with plenty in between - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Bing does pay for the images on it's homepage and uses Alamy from time to time. I happened upon one of mine once. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Todd Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That's good to know Wim. I was meaning, like Google, they facilitate a lot of theft of images in their searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That's good to know Wim. I was meaning, like Google, they facilitate a lot of theft of images in their searches. I see exactly what you mean. There should be a warning that it may be copyright protected material. Many will think it is not. Very disconcerting, yes.......
