Bing Image Archive

BingImageArchive

Long Zheng from istartedsomething set up an archive for Bing search engine home page background images. The archive can be found at this link: http://www.istartedsomething.com/bingimages/. Quite cool that he did it. =)

There are two images for each day: one for US and the other for International version. There are two types of direct link to an image on a particular day: for example, http://www.istartedsomething.com/bingimages/#20090526-us is a link to an image on 26 May 2009 US version; for international version, use au in place of us. (Please note Long Zheng is from Australia.) The link above will show in the background the calendar for the current month.

If you want to show the calendar for a particular month, use this link: http://www.istartedsomething.com/bingimages/?m=5&y=2009#20090526-au. Actually there are two more parameters in the URL: m and y. The meaning of the parameters should be self-explanatory. If the two parameters are not provided (as in the first link), the PHP page defaults to the current year and month.

There are some really nice photos over there, especially if you like photography.
