Use Bing – To “Google It”
Microsoft’s been promoting “Bing”, their latest incarnation of “Live Search“, pretty heavily. I’m not big on their claims that we’re all suffering a case of “search overload”, but the commercials are kind of clever in their patronizing way (< cue Sarah Palin impression> “Searching is hard!”).
But at the end of the day, Google still dominates. By a show of hands – How many of you typed “bing.com” into your browser to find out more about it? How many of you googled “bing” to find out what it was?

Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
I can’t even use Bing. Everytime I get to the search page, I get that pretty picture search box and zone out for about 10 minutes and forget what i’m supposed to be searching for.
On the real though, Bing is removing cognition from search, which i’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Actually I think it’s pretty bad.
Bing does give search results much like Google but i would have to say that Google still gives more relevant search results.
i have been using the BING search engine for a couple of weeks. it seems to be as good as Google but for some reason i would still want to stick with Google search engine
i am using both Bing and Google and i think both search engines give relevant search results. i would still prefer Google though, because it gives a little bit more relevant search results than Bing.
my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
To be honest, I’ve tried both and don’t see any advantage to using Bing. But then again I have to use Google for my job so my results are skewed.
To double check, I asked my complete search novice partner to compare the two. Her conclusion “Bing is prettier, but a bit rubbish”.
Says it all really.
