Bing Versus Google

[Yazar]

As you may know Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, had a great start. According to some news, it started to overtake Yahoo. Bing also grabbed market share from Google.

Is it possible? I don’t think so. People’s habit is hard to change and most of us is using Google as the default homepage. I think more creative ideas and some vision is needed to overtake Google.

I've tried it for a few days, I still prefer Google.

Someone is going to have to do something pretty damn spectacular to get me to switch from Google

I have been using bing and like it. I have been getting more relevant search results especially with the little page preview window. (admittedly, not as good as I hoped but a definate improvement)

I know it will be hard to get some people to switch. But just to keep in in perspective - search engines that I can recall using heavily at one time or another - google, yahoo, altavista, hotbot, lycos, webcrawer, askjeeves, and now bing. In 3 - 5 years, there will be a new one. One thing I would NOT do, is get attached to a search engine. 8 Years ago, I would never have imagined people switching from Yahoo. It was as dominat a portal as google is today.

The OP is a sneeky little bot it looks like spreading word about Bing! ;)

I hope MS loses their shirts on this.

Definitely looks like MS's bot, lol.

To stay on topic, MS looks to put Bing as the homepage for IE browser, just like Mozilla/Firefox and Chrome do for Google search.

It's a bot for sure... but I have never heard of bing, so the bot is doing it's job. It's a catchy phrase... "Just Bing It" Might take the place of "Just Google It." :)

Not sure if this is a welcome first post.
What will MS stoop to next, spam the avsforum?

I was a bit disturbed to see Bing give me locations to the local locations in a national chain search. I'm not sure I like the idea of a search engine arbitrarily learning my location.

lets see if this works...
