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".

James Mitchell, Monday, 8 June 2009 22:24 (sixteen years ago)

"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

Tracer Hand, Monday, 8 June 2009 23:01 (sixteen years ago)

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.

Manuel Doritos (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 8 June 2009 23:12 (sixteen years ago)

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

one month passes...

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.

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:53 (fifteen years ago)

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

N1ck (Upt0eleven), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:57 (fifteen years ago)

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.

Sunny River, Thursday, 30 July 2009 02:12 (fifteen years ago)

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?

iatee, Thursday, 30 July 2009 05:26 (fifteen years ago)

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

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

dmr, Monday, 23 November 2009 17:56 (fifteen years ago)

yeah they ruind that shit 4 real

ice cr?m, Monday, 23 November 2009 17:57 (fifteen years ago)

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.

mark cl, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:00 (fifteen years ago)

haven't really used bing at all tho tbh

mark cl, Monday, 23 November 2009 18:01 (fifteen years ago)

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 sb'ed your mum (ken c), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 13:17 (fifteen years ago)

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.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 13:20 (fifteen years ago)

Bing ripping off users?

James Mitchell, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 14:23 (fifteen years ago)

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.

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.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 November 2010 17:46 (fourteen years ago)

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.

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 18 November 2010 17:49 (fourteen years ago)

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

like you really know who trisomie 21 is (u s steel), Thursday, 18 November 2010 18:02 (fourteen years ago)

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.

JacobSanders, Thursday, 17 March 2011 04:24 (fourteen years ago)

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

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?

JacobSanders, Thursday, 17 March 2011 07:23 (fourteen years ago)

Sorry about that little outburst.

JacobSanders, Thursday, 17 March 2011 07:27 (fourteen years ago)

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

Alba, Thursday, 17 March 2011 07:43 (fourteen years ago)

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

Alba, Thursday, 17 March 2011 07:45 (fourteen years ago)

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.

JacobSanders, Thursday, 17 March 2011 07:56 (fourteen years ago)

good God

this wasn't a search engine iirc

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

Romford Spring (DG), Thursday, 17 March 2011 13:17 (fourteen years ago)

one year passes...

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.

abanana, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 00:23 (twelve years ago)

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
