| - Microsoft Pulse (previously branded as Bing Pulse) is an audience response system from Microsoft. On June 30, 2017, the service was discontinued as a free public service. It is now only available as part of Skype for Business Skype Meeting Broadcast. Note: the domain https://pulse.microsoft.com is unrelated to the Pulse service and provides news and information for Microsoft Benelux customers. Bing Pulse is an audience engagement technology for live feedback from audiences of any size, during any event, on any web-enabled device, and on any browser. Bing Pulse gives viewers the ability to respond every five seconds, and as often as they want, to the content they're hearing and seeing. Pulse also gives users the opportunity to have their say in polls and see how others are responding in real time. Bing Pulse was unveiled on February 12, 2013, during Fox's broadcast of the 2013 State of the Union. Since its inception, Bing Pulse has generated more than 35 million votes from participants across the US. Bing Pulse 2.0 was released in beta on December 3, 2014. Notable changes included a self-service option for users to purchase and use Bing Pulse through the product's website, and several product improvements, including sharper consumer graphics and experience; a responsive, multi-device design; and more flexibility in visualizations. In December 2015 Microsoft announced that they would drop the Bing branding in favour of the general "Microsoft" brand and would integrate other Microsoft services such as OneNote, Skype, Skype for Business and Azure. Alongside the rebranding Microsoft announced that the service would be focused beyond merely real-time voting. (en)
