Link During the first few days of Bing, people were saying its search results were poor. This study shows that's still true:
I think it's just too little too late for Microsoft... I'm waiting for the next big thing in search.. I can say now.. I don't think its going to be Microsoft ...
I hardly consider TechCrunch to be a reliable source for a study of people behaviour and internet trends.
It's too early to tell for that kind of poll. Remember, Microsoft has the machinery to propagate Bing as a matter of fact they have already placed Bing in your hotmail account not to mention the popular operating system they own. Wait till you see them packaging Bing with the latest Windows 7 just like what they did with Internet Explorer that eventually kills netscape.
I think it's nice that Microsoft is trying to beat Google, but it just isn't going to happen. Google is simply too powerful, there search results are the best, and they offer amazing services that Microsoft can't even come close to.
That's nice. Unfortunately for you, TechCrunch did not conduct the study and only reported the results.
And it put Microsoft under US Federal oversite to this day, along with $2 billion in fines. Do you think they'd like to repeat that?
Ive been to worse... but I've certainly been to better! The top results to me seemed paid, and I'm not digging that.
Bing still has to walk a long way to beat the big G. Don't count on it being the major search engine or even competition in the next 5 years, unless something drastic happens to Google.
As a Search Engine Visitor, I love Goooooogle, Bing needs much work to overtake Google which i don't see in next few years.
