Bing is going to kick Google's asp!

The Gates family has agreed to pay me 100 dollars every time I use the expression "Bing it" while talking to my friend. He uses search engines to make life-changing decisions like "Should I search News or Local for Chicago Marathon Results?" ... and the like.

I respectfully disagree, bro! Incremental improvements and advertising are not enough to compete with Google in long term.

 

Bing surely can do well, particularly since the initial response has been tremendous and people do actually seem to like binging it. Also Microsoft has deep pockets as well, to take on google in the longer run.

There is no immediate threat to google in the near future though.....it is Yahoo who would be in the fighting ring with it...as of now!

I really hope so. Right now, I have so much grudge on Google and on the way is indexing my website

 

Its nice to see some competition in the search engine market place, keeps the engines in a state of ever improvement, and keeps ppc click costs down.

As far as I can see Bing just copied google's layout and minimalist style. When you look at both search engines side by side they look basically the same. They both have 10 results per page, with sponsored listings on the right side and top. Bing even has that skinny little top bar like google has, and uses the same exact colors- blue for links, black for text, and green for urls. But, if it works, why fix it?

 

Fling Bing!

 

I'd add that Bing / MSN/ Live is a way to target older people... baby boomers have more discretionary cash in their budgets than you youngins...

There is a reason the GM ad people used Led Zepplin to sell Caddilacs!

I'd like to see some competition to keep Google honest.
because Yahoo isn't doing it

 

I think Bing has youth appeal too. Microsoft hasn't fully leveraged their network yet, though.

They would do well to push Facebook to increase the prominence of web search on FB. And the Bing search box in Hotmail is small... everyone uses email on a regular basis... leverage that loyalty.

And they have yet to develop a consistent navigation structure across their network. Microsoft is notorious for poor navigation & trying-way-too-hard-to-be-hip ambiguity. What the hell is a surfing CEO? And why do I care about how (any generic) technology helps me to "rip it up in the economic tsunami."??? How about those funky little squares on the Bing home page? What are those supposed to be? (edited... just figured it out - they're showcasing various Bing features through ambiguity curiosity)

Anyone else think those daily images on Bing are distracting? They go right into the left-side navigation panel & don't offer any value to Microsoft or the user, as far as I'm concerned. The bright orange is also somewhat distracting... it pulls your eye away from search results.

Still, if they don't BLOW it early on with Bing, I think the new name alone holds considerable word-of-mouth value. Good search verbiage.

 

I think Bing will definitely put a dent on Google's share for searches. Microsoft has all the resources to do just that.

The good thing is I have already a lot of searches for my website from Bing. Go Bing Go!

 

I can see some nice SERPs from Bing, I think i can optimized it for better results

 

Um... why doesn't Microsoft multi-brand / acquire websites per age group & demographic?

Like LocalGoogleGuru said, MS has traditionally targeted older, business folk (& patronized the general public as dunces...).

I wonder if going after various age groups with demographic-taylored & branded web portals would be a good idea.

 

MSN has all the capabilities of coming up with a great search engine but I do not know why they are so lazy or slow about some tasks sometimes. For example, if you remember, the Live engine was introduced and then the Link: command was gone with the wind and the staff did not do anything about that but activating such a thing could be a matter of some days work. Let's see how Bing is going to do in the cyber world.

 

Bing is good and far better compared to Yahoo for now. The user interface is more friendly compared to Yahoo but the result need to be improved before they could think about jumping over Google. The results of Bing seems oriented to link too much. They are counting every links even spam one to give some site a ranking.

 

That's really a sad part of an algorithm and how they define quality sites out of it's links and contents as major variable in ranking.

 

I think bing will take down yahoo, as yahoo seems so gay lately, damn near all the links I go to are frikin' redirects in the yahoo SE

 

i hope bing owns google sooner or later.

 

Just Because the initial response it good..it doesn't mean it will wipe out google from the scene !

 

Bing is really good, but it can't outrank google for a shorter time, maybe they should try yahoo and msn first. hehe

 

Agreed. We have to wait and watch to assess how the bing crawls (like a toddler), then walks and finally sprints (like an athlete) in the race to beat the established player, google.

 

dsnt seem to be any harm for Google but I am feeling sorry bout yahoo now..BTW I wld like to see the stats for bing
