No one special yet. Give me some time and patience. I'll be around awhile. :)

I've pretty much made the switch.  The image search handling is very nice as is video.  The thing that put me over the top is having Wolfram Alpha integrated into the system.  Seriously, if I'm at some point able to search for data and then process it through some kind of 3-D integration and get my own interpretation just on a search system?  Wow.  BTW: I love Alpha already just because it does an excellent job of assisting and showing logical steps through some thorny Calculus issues, especially in 3-D where you're thinking about cliffs, spikes, falloffs, etc.  Very very useful.

Sorry. Google wins hands down.

Bing? Pfft. Bong ftw.

 

But on a serious note: Working in tech support over the phone, I watch on GoToAssist how people find things all the time. People use bing for a LOT of stuff now......but they Google bing to get there. (Most people don't change home pages)

I find that HILARIOUS.

There is no doubt I think Bing's image search is better than google, I mean, seriouly thumbnails and you can see the page as well

but the search..shivers......Google hands down

Doesn't Bing have captcha

I know how to get Google to find everything I want, so I intend to stick with Google. It's light weight, fast and almost always finds what I need. Bing is Microsoft's way of playing catch up, which is fine, but I haven't seen anything new. Google brought a lot of things to the table. Until Bing can offer some serious innovations it'll just be another search engine.

And, of course, saying 'Google it' sounds better than 'Bing it'.

No Bing scholar and no Bing print.

I think these sum up my feelings about Bing nicely. If I'm searching images, Bing. Anything else, Google. And "Google it" is definetly better. Although "Bing it" is miles ahead of whatever the old MS search was. Wasn't it something like Windows Live Search or something? "Windows Live Search it" just rolls off the tongue

I'm running Google Chrome with Bing as my default search engine.  Works wonders, and it's ironic.

 

Besides, there's something really awesome about telling people that you're binging a celebrity.

I'll use Chrome and IE for that matter when they have all the cool extensions FireFox has.

I'll repeat, the thing that put me over the top is the impending integration of Alpha.  That kicks Google's calculator all over the place.

For day-to-day search, I've gotten far better results from Bing than Google.  I'm not completely sure why and wonder whether the kind of searches I've been doing regularly include crap sites gaming Google and their algorithms and ignoring Bing and their algorithms... so I get better results on Bing.

Either way, Bing wins on anecdotal evidences on search and absolutely wins on spur-of-the-moment calculations.

B.I.N.G = But It's Not Google

Bing reminds me more of an extended msn or yahoo page than a google search engine.

on Dec 01, 2009

Yahoo uses the Bing engine so no surprises there.
