Microsoft’s latest Bing feature lets users associate pages from around the Web with their name. Bing continues to trail Google in the search-engine wars. Microsoft has introduced a way to make people stand out more clearly on Bing, its search engine. A new “Linked Pages” feature lets users associate pages from around the Web with their name, allowing others to tell the difference between, say, five different John Does. “With Linked Pages, we’re letting you link websites related to you by search results,” read a Feb. 22 note on the Bing Community blog. “Now your friends looking for you online can find what you want them to find. You can also link pages to your friends helping them shine on Bing as well.” Users who want to take advantage of the feature will need to log in via their Facebook ID and give Bing permission to post to Facebook. Users can also remove posted links. “Once you remove a link, you are the only person that can go back and relink yourself to that page,” the posting added.
