Today Microsoft issued a press release “unveiling” its new search engine, Bing. When I clicked on the link in the PR page, I saw a nice blank page. Sort of like a field, after a snowstorm, before anybody walks through it. I’ve noted previously that Microsoft just doesn’t get the concept of branding. Right now, Bing is another example of this. Would it have killed them to slap some “Coming June 3!” stuff on the page as a placeholder? Geeze. Anyway, if you want to learn more about Microsoft’s new search engine, here are four articles for you. UPDATE, 5 minutes later – They’ve got a “Coming Soon!” page up, with a link to learn more about their “Decision Engine“. (Hmmm … in the last 2 months, we’ve gotten a “Discovery Engine”, a “Computational Knowledge Engine”, and now a “Decision Engine”. “Search Engine” is now officially an obsolete term.) |

BING search engine is just as good as Google. In my own personal experience, Google does give more releveant search result than Bing but the difference is very small. **
my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I use Bing and Google whenever i want to find something on the internet. I think that both search engines are very good. .
