Microsoft has added "Bing deals", a daily deals service, for both the desktop and mobile.

Local bargains will feature in Bing searches in the US. The new service is expected to help users find the best local deals.

To provide the service Microsoft Bing has partnered with The Dealmap, a service provider that lets users find and share the best local deals.

Microsoft has said that the new feature provides access to 200,000 offers in 14,000 cities.

Bing deals takes inputs from other daily deals services such as Groupon and Restaurant.com.

Earlier this year, there were rumours that Google was planning to launch a service that offers deals to local businesses, tentatively named Google Offers.

Microsoft and eBay are also partnering to offer eBay Daily Deals through the use of new IE 8 Web Slice for the holidays.
