Bing is the only viable competitor to the Google search monopoly right now. forget about yahoo, Bing is at least making head way and some progress.

Dont get me wrong, google will still be king of search for many years to come, but with bing in the marketing, google will at least have something to fight and protect for.

if you haven’t tested out the search engines against each other, here is the a blind test i found

Common searches Google, Bing, Yahoo all fair more or less the same. When you get to some uncommon searches, now the difference begins to show. Google does appear to have a better relevance in its results. Yahoo has been trying to compete with Google for a while without too much success.

The question really is, is Bing better than Yahoo. Yes, Microsoft will pour money into ad campaigns etc. Unless it is really better than Yahoo search engine, it will continue to be at No 3

It’s like google, just more flashy. I would try using more search engines to see which ones provide the best results. But “bing” is a nice name, except that its means But It’s Not Google, most likely.

I gotta say when using bing it just seemed like a flashy google. The content it praises is very similar to the contect you get from google. For example when I typed in weather on bing I get the forecast for my area which is alright except for the fact that when I do the same thing on google….I get the exact same information presented in the same fashion. A nice little forcast for my area at the top of the search results. There’s nothing cutting edge about that.Just looks like the put a pretty border around google but whos to say that bing will suprise us with all that marketing money. Look how well that approach worked for vista……

Eventually people do get tired of using the same system to do exactly the same thing. Remember aol, yahoo mail.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “Google will eventually get old so people will have to stop using them and move to a new fad.” I just think people should be wise and not use one company’s services for everything. I still use the Netscape e-mail address I started in 1999. And I have Gmail as a backup address. And I use AOL Instant Messenger sometimes. And I like Yahoo’s front page the best and I use Yahoo’s flickr service for my photos. I could go on and on, but you get the point. Google has a right to be in business and to offer services and I think they do a great job at a lot of it. I just don’t get why it has such a cultish following, and, just like with Microsoft, if the public continues to use nothing but Google services just because it’s the hip thing to do at the moment the time is going to come when those same people complain that Google got too big.

As big as Google might think they are, they need not forget that in these days it is only a matter of time before the majority of the people are convinced that there is a better alternative.
Besides, you can’t rely on a single stream of information forever. Additionally, Google search algorithms discriminate on certain websites which would otherwise provide relevant and helpful content.

Does Google Mock Bing?

Devoted, loyal and never changing Googlist? Absolutely.

That’s the same attitude people had about Microsoft before everyone started complaining that they got too big.

I’m sure that Bing works quite fine, but people (including myself) have grown..loyal, and dependent to Google. I don’t like the flashy home page, and prefer Google’s simple Logo and Text bar lay out. Another thing, in the Bing Advertisement on TV, they insinuate that Google provides too many, and obscure results. I tried Bing and received..a single result. Not enough, if you ask me. It’s pretty ballsy of Microsoft to take on Google at their own game-and I don’t like it. Google has conquered the online world, with more web pages than the population of the entire Earth. The holy-mother of all search engines. Me? I’ll stick to Google, because they are simply the best. Am I hypnotized? Maybe. Devoted, loyal and never changing Googlist? Absolutely.
