+Example: Interactive Ruby Shell
+----------
+require the gem in your shell session
+
+   	require 'newsbing'
+create a new search object, below 10 results are requested, you can retrieve up to 50 at a time
+
+	bing_image = Bing.new('your_account_key_goes_here', 10, 'Image')
+retrieve the results for a given term
+
+	bing_results = bing_image.search("puffin")
+
+or optionally specify an offset for your search, to start retrieving results from the starting point provided
+
+    bing_results = bing_image.search("puffin", 25)
+
+parse the results
+ 
+	puts bing_results[0]["Thumbnail"]["MediaUrl"] # puts url of thumbnail
