New Bing News Feature Allows You To Connect The Dots Between News Stories

Microsoft Bing team yesterday announced a new feature that allows you to connect the dots between news stories so you get the bigger picture. You can quickly understand how individual news articles relate to a bigger picture just by skimming headlines across different news topics.

On Bing News on your mobile, in the lower-right corner of each news story you’ll now see “smart labels”. These smart labels use advanced technology to determine the key topic of the article and its relationship to other news topics and articles. Click on one and you’ll open a new page with fresh articles related to that topic.

Take the example below. While reading every last article on East European geo-politics may not be realistic, exploring a few smart labels and headlines can help connect the dots between the big themes. Clicking on the “Putin” smart label below will bring up a list of fresh articles related to the Russian president.
