Bing vs. Google

[Brent]

Well, now that Bing is out and you can "Bing it" do you Bing it or still Google it?

Me personally, I still use Google. Sorry Bing, but Google does what I need it to, and I like it, simple, fast.

I tried Bing several times within the past couple of weeks and it couldn't find what I wanted.

I would then go to Google and it would be on the first page!

I think my experiance speaks for itself.

Hard task convincing people ubiquitous Google needs replacing. It not only gives you what you need, but often what you didn't know you wanted, as well.

Once a proper noun has been "verbed" the way Google has, it's too late. You might as well try and get people to stop saying Kleenex and Q-Tips.

 

[Geckothan]

Yeah..

Bing! The better way to Google. It's the easiest way to Google since Yahoo!

 

[Drogo]

I search for basically the same things over and over for my old time radio show hobby. Bing does a better job of keeping on track than Goggle. But Goggle is better for random buy it now links.

 

[Marc]

Yeah..

But at least you know Google won't give you results biased towards Microsoft.

If Microsoft was serious about taknig on google it would ensure it's product doesn't have bias toward it's own products.

Never heard of Bing. I use Google, I know it's short cut search keys and am happy enough with the results. No need to even try Bing.

Bing's image search is a lot less unwieldy than Google's, so I tend to default to Bing for that.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Never heard of Bing, but I can't say I have ever Googled something and thought "dammit only 18 million hits. There's got to be a better search engine". I'll cruise by Bing and play with it for awhile, but I can't see ever not using Google.

 

[Amaris]

I use both. When Google started continuously giving me the 404 Sorry errors, I switched to Bing, and for a couple of weeks everything went swimmingly. I can now use Google again as it was fixed, but I still really like Bing. Everything I searched for was found via Bing, so even if they're not as huge as Google, they're still quite capable.

Yeah..

I don't know how old those pics are, but they can't be too old. I have to call this one out:

They're quite old pics, but if nobody had called MS out on the "biased" results, they likely would've stayed like that.

The Dutch government is planning to sue them over the fact that in Bing Maps the Royal palaces and militairy instalations aren't blurred in photo mode...
Apparently there is a law that says they have to be blurred...
