    ✶   Bing: It was developed and launched by Microsoft in June 2009 as

                        a successor to MSN Search and Live Search. It introduced features
                        like daily changing  background  images, instant answers and
                        integration  with Microsoft services. Bing powers search on

                        Microsoft’s platforms and even serves as the search backhand for Yahoo!

                                      ✶  Ask.com: It is orignally known as Ask Jeeves, was founded in
                                          1996  by  Garrett Gruener  and  David Warthen.  The  unique
                                          feature  at  the  time was  its ability to  let users type  questions

                                          in natural  language,  rather  than  relying  only on keywords.
                     Later,  Ask.com  shifted focus from being a full search engine to more of a
                     question-and-answer  community, though it still  offers basic search  functions

                     powered by other providers.

                           E-MAIL

                     An Electronic mail or e-mail can be defined as the process of exchanging messages
                     electronically through a communications network by using a computer. Although,

                     an e-mail is usually associated with the Internet, it is not necessary to have an
                     Internet connection to send and receive e-mails. Many organisations have e-mail
                     facilities within their own networks, without having Internet connection.

                     Advantages of an E-Mail

                     E-mails have various advantages, some of them are:
                     ✶  E-mails can be sent at any time and from anywhere in the world.

                     ✶  An e-mail can be sent to multiple recipients at once.
                     ✶  E-mails can be easily forwarded to others without the need to retype them.

                     ✶  Sending an e-mail is faster than traditional postal mail.
                     ✶  E-mails allow sharing of music, images or other computer files with anyone.

                     ✶   If an e-mail fails to reach its destination, the mail server will automatically attempt
                        to resend it.
                     ✶   If an e-mail cannot be delivered, you will receive a notification explaining the
                        reason for the failure.

                       While working on e-mails outside the organisation, you need to be connected
                       to the Internet. In the absence of the Internet connection, you cannot send or

                       receive e-mails.
