Why?


Re: Microsoft releases BING - google competitor - cbelt3 - 06-02-2009

"Bing" because Microsoft can't count up to Google. They're limited to 640 K.

just played with it a bit. can't really say if searches are more thorough than google but having a short preview of the site when you mouse over the left side of a hit is somewhat handy.

I tried it out yesterday after reading some unusual comments in a review.

Seems like it does what google does with a few new bells and whistles. Good, google could use the competition.

Search Smackdown:

Compare Bing to Google in realtime. To my eyes, it looks like Bing just changes to first result, then pastes a Google search underneath.
