Microsoft Bing

Don't think this was posted anywhere, but Microsoft revealed their somewhat-hyped new search engine today. Try it out at Bing. Probably won't change Google's market share too much, but at least it is better than Cuil.

What's that it can do which Google can't? : (Not at you, but at MSN)

I'm too used to google to get used to any new search engines, no matter how good they are.

Ditto. My fingers automatically start typing 'Google' when I want to find something out.

I have been using Live for a while now and think Bing so far looks really really good. The Image search is just brilliant.

Pretty much the same for me, any search is straight for google. Microsoft missed their chance to convert me a few years ago where I would switch between them and google.

I'm all Google too but I've gone ahead and changed my default browser on Firefox to Bing to test it out. There's just something about Google's UI that feels so comfortable.

Same thing here. And besides, what is there in Bing which Google cannot do?

its like the americans and russians during the cold war...

"if you can do it, so can we" !!

 

[Leggie]

Gotta admit though, Bings' Image search is really good.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

What exactly is so good? Just the accuracy of the searching?

If reading this thread made you go get it, then yes! There's a link in the first post

I have added it to firefox, but I doubt I'll switch from using google. As others have said, what exactly does it offer that google doesn't?

Hey guys - Aaron from the Bing Outreach Team here...

Thanks for all the great feedback on this forum. Something I think you guys will find really cool is that if you type in "Cricket Scores" to Bing, you'll get recent scores and upcoming games from around the world. You can also type in your favorite team to get the most recent stats.

Here's a link so you can check it out:

Here's another good link where you can check out our new stuff:

Hope this helps! Cheers!
