Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, launched a new daily deals aggregator on Thursday. The service, called “Bing deals,” compiles offers from Groupon, Livingsocial, Restaurant.com and more through a partnership with The DealMap. Bing deals is able to sort by location based on a user’s mobile device, allowing people to find deals at nearby restaurants, for example. It is currently available for iPhone and Android users, but ironically, not yet for those with devices running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. The service requires HTML5 — Microsoft said that HTML5 support for Windows Phone 7 would come later this year.
