Microsoft is revamping its online video site, MSN Video, and combining it with its Bing video site to create a new video destination. It doesn’t look too bad – kind of a weak cousin of Hulu.
The new Bing Video site will be accessible from Bing.com and MSN.com, and will combine original content from MSN with content from partners such as Hulu, TV.com and YouTube.
The goal was to combine MSN’s content offerings with Bing’s search capabilities. Bing is Microsoft’s latest attempt at taking on leaders Google and Yahoo! in the search engine space.
By combining the resources, Microsoft is betting it can make an impact in the online video space, hopefully drawing viewers to some of its original online programming along the way.
