Use Bing and you have to trust Microsoft. Microsoft got to No1 by back stabbing and doggy dealing not by innovation. Read this article linked below:

Now search for anything negative to Microsoft on Bing then try it on Goggle.

Who do you trust?

Forget “decision engines” or “computational knowledge engines”, all I want are relevant results. While I agree that Bing can be useful in certain circumstances, Google still provides more relevant results in the majority of cases and so to me, Google is still the best search engine out there. Plus, I like the no-nonsense, no-gimmick approach to search Google has.

My default search provider in the search box on Firefox is now Bing (in an attempt to force myself to use it) and I have to say I’m relatively impressed. The results so far are relevant enough for me not to need to revert back to Google and I’ll keep it that way. Competition is healthy.

My predictions.

1. Bing will replace Yahoo after Yahoo sell to Microsoft after their stock collapses due to Bing taking 2nd place in search.
2. Google throw 10’s of millions of $’s and copy the features of Bing. (Reversing the trend of Microsoft amalgamating other peoples innovation into their products)
3. Microsoft react by throwing 100 millions $’s at a bigger ad campaign – which doesn’t resonate completely with the people, but is enough to get Bing into the minds of enough people to get Bing used enough to make good money.

Google end up with 65% market share, Microsoft with 35%

I think possibly the first thing that needs to happen is for my college to realise that bing is ok, and you don’t need to block it! (Apparently though I must take it up with my PT though that “Live Search” is still the default in the top right hand corner.

The really good thing I’ve noticed so far thjough about Bing is it feels nippier than Live Search although it does seem to be copying some features from Mr. Jeeves.

I’ve yet to do a single search in Bing that brings back 1 relevant result in the top 50… :-S

Some interesting points - I'm curious whether people really stick to one search engine though. I use Firefox and I've got 11 different engines sitting up in the top-right corner, incluing Bing, Google (still my default), Yahoo, Wikipedia and Wolfram. And you're quite right about Yahoo being first on the "kill" list. As we reported a little while ago, Bing has already overtaken Yahoo in terms of popularity.

It’s all about the porn.
Has Microsoft spent a fortune road-testing Bing to see if it can help the millions of people who log on every day to xxx sites ?
If not, then they are encouraging Bing-users to carry on using Google for ’some of their searches’.
Why would anyone have more than 1 search engine installed ?
You find one you like – make it the default – and kick off searches in the ‘top right hand corner of your browser’.
Given Microsoft’s need to appear ritcheous and clean, they will NOT work hard to make Bing the very best porn search engine on the planet.
On that basis, anyone with that kind of interest will NOT install Bing by default.
It was bad enough that they tried to get you to use crappy Live search by default :~(.

Now, at present it seems no one compete google.
But ” Never say no ”
Bing can beat google is it goes in a right strategy.
Kudos bing.
