Bing Intelligent Search brings improvements to hotel booking, home services price range and more

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bing-Hotel-e1533358837279.jpg" /> Microsoft's Bing search is getting new features including improvements to hotel booking experience, home services pricing and schedules, coupons, deals and more. However, all of these features are available in the US.  Back in May Bing introduced the hotel booking experience with aggregated pricing from third party booking sites and today, the company is adding intelligent tips, a price trends view, and a comparison view. It provides historical price trends for the date range you’re exploring to help make price-based trade-offs. The new price trend feature allows users to browse price trends over time in a single view. The new comparison view provides an overview of pricing by hotel option. You can see the detailed breakdowns side-by-side so you can pick the best choice for your needs and budget. Up next is the home services pricing and scheduling which is becoming equally tough for users. To carter the users, Bing is bringing cost ranges to provide transparency for home services like sink installation costs and toilet repairs. These ranges show a visual distribution of prices, specific to your zip code so they’re tied to your location. The company says that the price data comes from its partnership with Porch. Bing finally brings aggregated deals across first- and third-party listings and display them when ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=FrKhCalOIHM:p6A6OJEuQHc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/FrKhCalOIHM" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/260088/bing-intelligent-search-hotel-booking-home-services.html">Read Here»</a>

Facebook starts testing of its ‘Dating service’

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Facebook-Dating-e1525237937654.jpg" /> Facebook at the F8 event back in May has introduced its 'Dating Service' and months after the announcement, Facebook is said to be testing its dating product internally with employees, according to the independent app researcher Jane Manchun Wong who found evidence of the product the within source code.  The company said to have asked his employees to use fake data for the dating profile and is also planning to delete all data before the public launch. Facebook also warns employees that its anti-harassment policies apply to the dating product. The sign-up page of the product has options to specify your gender, location, and which genders you’re interested in matching with. Facebook is internally testing Facebook Dating. I can't go past the signup screen because they are not activating all non-employee Dating profiles because, well, it's "pre-launch" ;) pic.twitter.com/VQFHUJIkuX — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) August 3, 2018 Though Wong was able to fill in her information, the creation of a dating profile wasn't successful. Since Facebook announced at its F8 event, we can expect the feature to be available to the public once the testing fetches fruitful results, but the company could cancel it altogether if it wishes otherwise. Facebook's dating service will let users create a dating profile that will ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=DRfn9zZOVN0:B6voZCeTcl8:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/DRfn9zZOVN0" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/260081/facebook-dating-service-testing.html">Read Here»</a>

Motorola confirms it won’t launch anymore Moto Z-series phones in 2018

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Moto-Z3.jpg" /> Motorola introduced the Moto Z3 phone with 5G Moto Mod earlier this week, few months after it introduced the Moto Z3 Play. However, the Z-series phone never really gained the attention and sale figures the company wanted, and with that in mind, the company on Twitter confirmed that it wouldn't be launching anymore Moto Z-series phones in 2018.  Hi. We will not be launching any more moto z’s this year. — Motorola US (@MotorolaUS) August 2, 2018 Though this doesn't come as any surprise, it sure is a bold move from Motorola. The first-gen Moto Z phone has three models; the standard Z, the Z Play, and the Z Force. Ever since Motorola has been following the same pattern. But in response to a fan query which asked if Motorola would bring out the Moto Z3 Force, the company outright dismissed it by saying: "We will not be launching any more moto z phones this year." There are still some unanswered questions like if Motorola would continue to use the Moto Mod ecosystem now that its promised three years are up and the future of the Z-series. Let's wait to see where Motorola is aiming to go from this point. <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=iWLfWgYzMmg:KqDXC25y2EE:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/iWLfWgYzMmg" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/260074/motorola-no-moto-z-phones-2018.html">Read Here»</a>
