New Feature Quick Add to Window’S Live Hotmail

Posted on 10 July 2009

Hotmail had previously announced Windows Live adding new feature unique to Hotmail calling “quick add.”

Microsoft is happy to announce that Bing, Microsoft’s decision engine has come to Window Live Hotmail quick add, allowing you to ‘Bing and Decide’ from the comfort of your inbox.

According to Hotmail Blog:

With Hotmail’s quick add feature, now enhanced with Bing, you can easily search, find, and insert content from the web straight into your e-mail messages. With just one click you can add restaurant reviews, movie times, images, videos, maps and more.

Give it a try:

1. Click New to create a new e-mail message.
2. Select a category from the Quick add pane on the right.
3. Type what you want to find in the Bing search box.
4. Click Insert on the Bing search result that you’d like to add to your message

Currently available in select languages and geographies (Australia, Canada, China, India, US, and UK)

The one limiting factor that remains with the transition is that if you want more than the few results that show up in the quick add menu, you have to retrieve them outside of Hotmail and on Bing.com. And once you’re on there, the buttons to simply add the content to an outgoing message do not come along for the ride.
