The folks working over at the travel site Kayak have noticed some startling similarities between their very own site and Bing Travel.
If you’ll direct your attention to a picture here, you’ll notice that they’ve got a pretty good hunch, too. Given that just about everything in the picture (with the exception of the brand in the upper-left hand corner) is about the same.
Kayak’s Chief Marketing Officer Robert Birge has stated, “We have contacted them [Bing] through official channels about concerns about the similarities between Bing and Kayak. From the look and feel of their travel product, they seem to agree with our approach to the market.”
In a response, Bing’s Whitney Burke has said, “We are discussing the matter with Kayak. Bing Travel is based on independent development by Microsoft and Farecast.com, which Microsoft acquired in 2008. Any contrary allegations are without merit.”

Perhaps the idea is similar, I would love to see Bing dumped in the trash, yet this really is just similar, now if the code seems to be the same, well hello "SOC v Linux"
Bing looks alike

More and more the web looks the same as everyone uses the same templates for whatever the current trend is. Same as strip mallls, there all the same design for years til someone changes it up. Too bad more people don't modify their web software templates so we get more variety; but can you really make a page today that doesn't resemble some page somewhere on the www?
Bing is easier to say than

After closer inspection, Bing Travel looks suspiciously like the main Bing search...
I can't really see any other way you could orgainze the Travel layout, because it follows the rest of the site's layout. It has ads on the right, it has results in the center, and it has narrowing categories on the left.

How about adds on the left and catagories on the right??
