Bing Introduced Bing Editors’ Picks: A Guide to Great Sites

Looking for travel tips or great food blogs? Or, maybe you need to know the best place to get advice on party planning.
We all start with search to find answers to these questions, but with so many websites out there, knowing which ones are worth your time can be challenging.
Now if you dont feel like going through all looking for a quality website. Bing has launched Bing Editors’ Picks. Editors’ Picks were designed to enhance Bing results by bringing editorially selected sites to your search experience. Bing team stated " Our goal, whether delivered by algorithm or by editors, is to help you find what you’re looking for faster and to get stuff done."

I personally like to going through the websites list and looking who put the effort into content to be on top  of the page.  I also wonder if Bing will accept money from companies to have their website in editors pick.  I feel like it could be useful for an a beginner to average user that doesn't want to go through many pages or has hard time choosing, trusting websites and rather have someone else pick for them. Editors’ Picks are small collections of relevant sites that our online editorial experts think will be useful to you, but may not always make it to the top of the search results page.
How Bing editors choose sites
For example, when you’re looking for something really specific — like “How to use a semicolon” or “Free clip art”— Now Bing will provide a list of editorially selected sites on that specific topic (in addition to our algorithmic results) to help you find what you’re looking for faster.
Bing teams says" We see lots of interest in seasonal topics, like Thanksgiving recipes and crafts, so we’ve put together a collection of sites dedicated to that topic".
How to find Editors’ Picks
Simply start a search as you normally would anywhere on Bing. If Editors’ Picks are available for your search terms, you may see an Editors’ Picks tab appear in the top rail or an instant answer (shown below) in the search results. Clicking on the tab or answer will bring you to a page that includes all the sites we’ve selected for that topic (as seen in the previous image). Visit Bing.com/editors-picks to find the full list of topics and browse for other interesting content.
