Bing Travel Strikingly Similar to Kayak

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.”

It's pretty weird how these two travel sites look almost the same without being designed by the company. I find it hard to believe that it's purely a coincidence. I consider it more of a bad joke from one of the second site's designers.

I like hassle-free vacations so I plan to go on a cruise next season and will be checking out Bing. Last year I went on a <a href=“http://www.pinoybro.com/index.php/travel/european-cruises/400-mediterranean-cruises” rel=“follow”>norwegian cruise</a> and had a wonderful time. Everything was planned and taken care of. I would recommend taking a cruise if you want a relaxing vacation.

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.david peterson garcia

Travel is a wider concept than a trip. A round trip is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from his/her usual residence to one or several distant locations and returns.

Personalized travel also called as customized travel enables us to plan our trip according to our budget and places of interest. By tailoring your trip you can choose the duration of time and how many days you want to spend in a particular city or place. It is not necessary for the fixed tour packages to visit all the places you wish to see; you can do it by planning your own trip. In a personalized trip, you can have everything of your choice including everything from lodging to eating. You do not need to wait for the particular season according to the fixed packages rather you can plan your trip as per your convenience. No restrictions and no limitations, this is what personalized travel is all about.

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"

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?
