Ticker
Add a "news" or "sports" ticker to the BING homepage that has a feature where you can click on the headline for more information. Then, Bing will be the go to source for everything you need everyday. But, don't mess with your daily photo - that is great!

make the list of ideas here at random and people will have ability to sort it out the way they want it. a single idea can change the world
The way ideas here are presented are by popularity. Not all popular ideas are the best ideas. Sometimes the unpopular one has more weights on it than the popular one. A single idea can dramatically chnage the world - and still holds true in whatever we do.
1 voteHello, thank you for your feedback. You do have some other options for sorting. You can sort by new ideas, by category or status. Give it a try!

Create kick-*** category specific apps
Build a portfolio of category specific apps in Android/iOS, timed with key events - e.g. Sports app timed with NFL/NASCAR, Entertainment app timed with Oscars shopping deals app timed with Thanksgiving.
Make the apps light-weight and blazing fast to hook fans of that category.

Hotel Searches
When searching for a hotel (e.g. Hotel XXXXX in City YYYYY), show the hotels own web site first, and only then all the other related websites (Trip Advisor, various booking sites etc.)
It is a real pain when trying to find details of a hotel that you have a booking for, and first have to scroll through dozens of booking/review sites.
1 voteHi Roger
Thanks for the feedback. Please check the new version of Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/mapspreview?FORM=Z9LH2) with the “card UX” that provides details for each item, like a hotel, business, place, etc. Let us know if this meets your needs, and addresses your idea

improve your ads
The ads on bing are mostly malicious, at least in Canada. There not serving malware but they show ads unwanted programs, site redirects, or ads to sites that are full of ads while pretending to be a search engine. Because of this I don't have bing on any of my other roommates computers.
1 voteHello
Sorry to hear of this problem. Please report this issue on the Bing Ads forum at:
http://bingads.uservoice.com/forums/82363-bing-ads-feature-suggestion-forumIf you have any ideas for other Bing features, please let us know.

Make a collection of links to look at later
Sometimes when I'm searching, I see something that I want to go back to look at again later.
I wish there was an easy way for me to set aside a link for later, to read when I have more time, or because I know I'll need to reference it again.
6 votesAs suggested in the comment, you can add the link to your Favorites to reference later. Press Ctrl + C to copy the link. Press Ctrl + D to open Favorites. Choose Add to add the link to Favorites.
