Interested in cooking? With the Bing search engine from Microsoft you can now also search for recipes. Microsoft has added a new special feature to search recipes.

Bing search now pulls information from a number of popular recipe websites, including Delish.com, to make it easy for customers to find the recipes they’re looking for. And because Bing is more than just a search engine, the Bing Recipe feature gives customers a way to sift the recipes (pun intended), so that they can actually find one that will work for their family, and find it fast enough to actually prepare for the night’s meal.

For example:

Try searching for ‘Paneer Recipes’ appear on the right one option Paneer recipes. Clicking this takes you to a page with recipes including from relish.com, MyRecipes.com and epicurious.com. Each recipe source will have the valuation of users +plus the number of calories and fat content. On the left hand side of the page, you could also find several filtering options.

Here is a video:

Plaxo being a social aggregator now adds Facebook connect …. Now you can connect with people in Plaxo automatically who are your Facebook friends – Sigh, no more duplicate connections. What’s more, you get to share all the information from your Facebook wall stories (like photos, links, and videos) with your Plaxo friends easily. Keep your Facebook status updated when ever you change the status on Plaxo or vice-versa.

Quick snap of what’s gonna happen if you add Facebook connect in Plaxo:

Automatically connect with your Facebook friends who already use Plaxo
Share your Facebook Wall Stories (like photos, links, and videos) with your Plaxo friends
Keep your Plaxo and Facebook status in sync

Now, you can feed the content you’re sharing on Facebook (such as photos, videos, links, and events) over to Plaxo for sharing to your friends here. In addition, you can sync your status updates between the two services (in either or both directions). And, when you share a link or post a review in Plaxo, you can also share it over to your friends on Facebook.

“We believe this is an historic day, one that marks the beginning of a new era for the Internet, characterized by an open and interoperable Social Web” says Plaxo chief architect Joseph Smarr and VP marketting John McCrea..

Sounds cool, where do I start?…. Go to http://www.plaxo.com/settings/facebook and click on the connect button. You would need to sign in to your Facebook account and grant permission that you want to add Plaxo application on Facebook. Now make sure what you want to share (Status, photos etc..) and whom you want to share it with (Business, family & friends or a group in Plaxo) :)…. Once you have done that you’re all good – Hola you’re done!

Plaxo could add the ability to sign up and sign in to Plaxo via Facebook Connect. Hope, Plaxo will continue to collaborate with Facebook add more features :)… and we’ll need wait and watch what’s coming up next :D.
