    So I'll admit it. I haven't tried the thing until today. What a disappointment! It looks as if this search engine just pulls in google's results. I give it three thumbs down.

    They are using there own search engine, but it doesnt seam to index new sites very well.
    Have you tried there video search engine its actually quite good.

    For me the best thing about Bing is the beauty of the homepage. As a search engine, it still leaves a lot to be desired. I always seem to get more and better results using google as opposed to Bing.

    I can tell you that they're working on a new spider for actually index content.

    Also their Image search is the best IMHO. The main web search still sucks though ;):D

    Yeah I rarely receive any traffic from bing and I prefer Google's minimalism anyway.

    Not impressed with Bing.
    Google and Yahoo! bring more traffic than Bing to me

    I like Bing's Image search a lot. But as some have said, for web searching it still falls short.

    Just create a lot of high PR, DoFollow backlinks and Bing will be your friend ;)
    Google may not thought so beware!

    Google is way better then Bing, I don't see how it's so revolutionary.

    The only thing Bing has going for it is it's attractive, but I still perfer the simplism of google.

    I hate Bing. I still see it as second or even third rate compared to Google. Besides looking pretty it just doesn't do anything that would attract my attention.
