Microsoft Bing

[Oreo]

Yeh, Google will have more topics and stuff under most searches, but then if Google was launched now, it wouldn't have a lot of good search results either.

It's all about whether people are willing to try something new and stick with the new Bling search engine for a while, if they do, people will want there pages to be a result of Bling searches, and advertising will take off etc - then it'll be a good search engine.

Okay, it's out.


Seems VERY good. Searches like "Intuos4 Review" Do indeed list an entire page of just reviews. I never got this with google. I will agree with microsoft here, Bing gives you alot more links you actually want to see and click on than google appears to do, so far, so good.

Microsoft Bing Search Is Live

Microsoft's new search engine has created some buzz since its introduction a few days earlier. The search engine is now live for everyone to test. It has to be noted that Microsoft seems to have it optimized for English speaking users from the United States and the United Kingdom who get more functionality than someone from Germany or France.
Users from the United States get on-page previews of the contents of each site by hovering the mouse cursor over a search result while users from unsupported countries do not get these previews. The previews can contain up to five links to other content of the site which is an interesting feature as search engines usually limit the exposure to one or two links to a site on each page. Many aspects of Bing look like Google Search. There are sponsored advertisements on top of the search results pages and on the left. Bing will also add related content like images where appropriate to the results.
