What about bing?

Recently I came to know about that microsoft is also having its searh engine with the name of Bing. Did somebody out here has used it and if yes then how was the experience, is it better than other ones.

It has a nice style, but does not work as well as google. Many people or most have used it, its pretty good. But google is still the top.

It looks quite good but I wont use it over Google unless they somehow made it better than Google.

Which I think is impossible since google has already layed the ground for search engines and could not be beaten.

Unless, Google servers suddenly went down.

They have a LOT of servers in different places around the world.

If one lot of servers went down then they have a LOT more to keep Google afloat.

I don't know why people are saying, "Google will never be beat." People used to say that General Motors would never be beat and look, they had to get bailed out by the freaking government. Any business can be bested. That's the great thing about capitalism. Now, does that mean it's going to happen any time soon? The one thing Microsoft has going for it is the money. They are massive with a ton of money. If they allocate enough funds to Bing, it could do good. And people are catching on to it.

General Motors?

Well its very unlikely to get beaten, as Microsoft are the most used OS and its unlikely they will get beaten.

If its like PS3 or Xbox 360 then they are closer when it comes to how many people have one, meaning Sony could overtake the 360 even though the 360 had a head start, kinda thing.

Keep in mind, the previous generation of consoles was quite different. The PS2 whooped the original Xbox. Things can certainly change.

Anyway, I use Bing as my main search engine. I had actually switched away from Google before Bing came out (when it was still Live Search). I switched because I like Bing better, but Google's results seem to have gone to crap. I don't really blame Google, seems like there is just a lot more crap on the web lately, Google just needs to find out how to filter that out.

I have to agree with synchar. Google has been putting more and more clutter on their site. For example, there's that section of "what's being discussed" or whatever with Twitter. That just irritates me. But, I suppose it is nice at the same time because it shows what people are talking about which leads to the question: are sites such as Twitter the future of search?

[Lukehluke]

Whats on twitter?

I have not seen that before.
