On Thursday at 9:32 London Stock Exchange (LSE) one of the largest stock exchanges in the world has experienced a failure for more than three hours. This failure has resulted a lost of more than 5 percentage points to 62.85 percent of FTSE 100 stocks. The problem gave investors a negative impression of the current situation of LSE.
This was not the first time that the LSE occur a failure due to Technical Issues, on September 2008 Traders were not able to sell or buy stocks because of computer software glitch, In an attempt to improve their market LSE has recently acquired for £18 million (US$30m) MillenniumIT to make it as another platform to help avoiding technical problems.
For LSE A failure of an hour can mean billions of dollars of lost trades and LSE also faces competition from other traders such as Chi-X and BATS. So a certain failure can cause a serious lost.

Visitors from Bing.com

Yesterday while I was looking at the Blog state I have noticed that some visitors were coming from a certain site called Bing.com. I started to search about it, after some search using Google I found some adds on the net talking about the new Microsoft search engine Bing.
The name seemed to me nice comparing to Microsoft search engine Live. according to Microsoft Bing offers several new features intended to help people perform faster, better searches with less poking around:
* A set of navigation and search tools called an Explore Pane which includes a feature called Web Groups. …
* Related Searches and Quick Tabs features that provide a sort of table of contents. …
Bing will become available in the next few days and fully be launched by the 3rd of June. Microsoft illustrates that Bing is not a search engine but it is a decision maker by providing a fast preview of search results during a mouseover .people can decide if they want to leave the search page and click on a link, therefore is not intended to be a Google challenger.
So let’s get ready for binging!
