Bing Election Guide

Bing Election Guide, Bing Elections includes the latest campaign news, poll results and Election Day predictions powered by Bing’s partnerships with news outlets and polling organizations such as MSN, The Huffington Post, Associated Press, the Cook Political Report, Real Clear Politics and others.

“We have a ton of editorial knowledge from MSN and increasingly from Bing that’s been focused on trying to distill useful stuff from the chaos of the Internet for our customers,” Adam Sohn, GM of the Bing business group, told Mashable. “And nowhere perhaps is their a greater need for that then during an election season in the United States.”

For those voters still undecided about their presidential candidate, Bing is also offering a candidate guide, breaking down Barack Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s biographies and stances on the most important issues of the day along with links to their social profiles.

There’s a social element as well, showing the hot topics across the social web, sentiment analysis and a stream of popular Twitter messages and Facebook posts.

Bing, while obviously not pushing any one candidate or issue, is encouraging its users to head to the polls on Election Day with polling place locators (powered by the Voter Information Project) and Get Out the Vote videos from Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill Clinton, and Mary Anne Huntsman, daughter of Jon Huntsman

“Participating in this process is something we all think is incredibly important,” said Sohn. “Given that we know we’ve got a shot at driving some pretty large traffic through search and MSN, we’ve got a video from Chelsea Clinton and Mary Anne Huntsman, which are really like, ‘hey look, here’s a site you can go and find your polling place.’ It’s really important to get out and vote.”

Royal wedding more than 24.5 million UK viewers, Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding was watched by more than 24 million terrestrial TV viewers in the UK, according to overnight estimates from industry body Barb. The BBC achieved a large share of the UK viewing figures for Friday's (April 29) ceremony, with a peak figure of 20 million tuning in to the corporation's broadcast of the Westminster Abbey service. More than 34 million people caught at least some of the Royal Wedding coverage through the BBC, including on its iPlayer service, reports BBC News. Sky News said it had a peak of 661,000 viewers at the start of the wedding ceremony, while BBC Two, Channel 4 and Five only made up 1 per cent of the audience as the nuptials began. William and Kate's service is now in the all-time top 10 programmes in the UK, but drew less viewers than the 1966 World Cup Final (32.3 million) and Princess Diana's funeral in 1997 (32.1 million).

Guinness World Records Most live streams for a single event

Guinness World Records Most live streams for a single event, The YouTube broadcast of Prince William’s marriage to Catherine Middleton (both UK) in London, UK, on 29 April 2011 achieved a record 72 million live views, as people from 188 countries around the world tuned in to watch the event on the company’s official Royal Channel.
