Kinda like bing.com, and have started to use it when Google isn't doing it for me.

It actually stands for "But It's Not Google".

"bing is not google" - there's a word for that kind of self-reflexive acronym but i can't remember what it's called now

Yes, this is wise. Reference your incredibly popular competitor within the name of your product. Microsoft, you have raised the bar of competence even higher.

lol bing's already been added to the wikipedia page..

This is the first time I've had any use for you, so thank you Bing for still having a cached html version of a pdf that has disappeared from the web and from google cache.

Not an exciting post, but possibly saving my ass this lunchtime!

bing & yahoo - together at last.

and yet still no-one's gonna bother with either. good luck yahbing.

Ya what? Micro who? I heard that on npr this morning and was cracking up. I bet yahoo is kicking themselves for not selling out to Microsoft when they had the chance.

so I'm sure the word 'bing' is the result of millions of dollars of focus group testing and every one of those letters is there for a reason...so why does it still sound so retarded? did the words 'yahoo' and 'google' used to sound this stupid?

I just binged npr coz I didn't know what it was.

ty, bing

bingin it hard over here

annoyed that they bought Farecast (aka "Bing Travel"). now the forecaster widget never seems to work anymore.

yeah they ruind that shit 4 real

Microsoft and News Corp eye web pact

also in the article: Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, has said that the company is prepared to spend heavily for many years to make Bing a serious rival to Google.

haven't really used bing at all tho tbh

i can't train my fingers to not automatically type "google" into the address bar.. why don't they call their search engine 'asdf'? much easier?

I haven't even typed "Google" in while thanks to the toolbar. You can get an MSN one that has bing. Wonder if you could use them both together.

Bing ripping off users?

damnit people, right-click the google search box and give it the keyword "g". then you can search for shit by typing

g shit

in the address bar. (this is how it works in firefox and opera, i dunno about others)

Bing revolutionizes the internet with motion/sound thumbnail porn previews.

the OK go commercial i have to sit through on last.fm is nails on a chalkboard

basically any page that partners with bing totally sucks

really hate the shit out of mousing over a link to see that I could google that word to find out more about it

thanks for the lookout, fuckin bing

as the partner of a librarian into information literacy, i am required by covenant to hate the shit out of this bing deal.

like srsly, yer big sell is that im too stupid to google shit so you are going to help direct me to the "right" result? fucking blow me.

also to get in my tin hat 2 cents in as a small business dude, i have great suspicions about how the monetizing of that decision engine is going to work out in favor of big box stuff.

I love Bing!! I mainly use search engines for the pictures.

I want to write a widget that blocks me from sites that are using bing, just brings up a "nah you don't want any of this" window

I just used bing for the first time, and in the top right hand corner is a facebook icon with my first name next to it. Why does bing know who I am when I have never used it until now? I don't like this.

what were the search engines in the days of Netscape - Lycos, Webcrawler, Altavista, Yahoo, seems like there was a 5th one I'm forgetting - anyway the point is there isn't one of them that isn't better than fucking Bing

excite

metacrawler

good God

How does bing do anything better? When tried to look at an image, it asked me are you sure you want to leave bing? How does bing know who I am when I have never been to bing bfore? Do I have cookies stored from facebook that bing reads? Can't I choose not to have facebook connect me to every fucking website I visit?

Sorry about that little outburst.

it's not Facebook it's Bing & your browser I think

It's Facebook and Bing and a FB feature called Instant Personalization

http://www.shinyshiny.tv/2011/01/should_you_be_worried_facebook_instant_personalisation.html

That says Facebook has to be "open" but really you just have to be logged in.

So facebook is basically the perfect marketing tool where everyone happily has their adds personalized? I guess it's not really a problem, just annoys me. It seems like most websites I visit, I will see a box where I can like this on my fb account. I know google has their own marketing following my clicks to personalize my adds as well, but with Bing it bothered me.

good God

this wasn't a search engine iirc

microsoft consider a bing toolbar for IE an 'important update'

http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/02/technology/microsoft-aquantive/index.htm?hpt=hp_t2

Microsoft spent $6.3 billion in cash buying online display advertising company aQuantive in 2007. On Monday, the company wrote off almost the entire value of the acquisition, taking a $6.2 billion writedown. ...

In Microsoft's most recent quarter, the company said its online services division lost nearly half a billion dollars. Over the past 12 months, the division's losses reached nearly $2 billion. ...

To capture the attention of a critical mass of advertisers -- enough to turn a profit -- search market analysts say that Bing will need at least 25% to 30% of the market. That's double Microsoft's current share.

at this point I'm kinda rooting for bing to gain market share cause the google-borg is starting to bother me

'rooting for' =/= 'using' obv
