    You are probably right.

    My initial excitement is already disappearing. It completely missed the mark on some searches. It is also showing some internal pages of my sites that are far from the most relevant for the search.

    I don't think I'll be dumping Google for it, but I do like it.

    It's cool, but Google is doing something right by keeping everything short and simple.

    In Google's case it's taking too long already.

    I will be honest with you. A new search engine plus $80 million in advertisment from Microsoft spells moderate success. Look at what Google did with Chrome. Just when we did not need another browser they came out with an awesome marketing campaign and so far it is having good success.

    I tried Bing yesterday and so far it's doing pretty well. I love the layout as well.

    Anyone know how to get your site into Bing Local Business. I have seen somewhere a long time ago that MSN used the Thompson directory for UK listings. Can anyone confirm this?

    I agree that not much has changed and it seems they are just trying to change their branding and get their name out there, which may work and improve their market share a little bit. To me the results are pretty much the same but i will say that one thing I do like about Bing is the little messages on the side or "flyouts" next to each result. I think the "flyouts" are an improvement but overall just the same "dog with a different leash".

    Most of the replies on this thread are in regards to the look of Bing. But how about the performance? The reason no one is mentioning it is because its algorithm is almost 100% identical to Live. There's no real change in the actual search results other than their presentation.

    Bing looks like good, it send me traffic about 100+ a day, let's wait and see what's next. Is bing able compete with google? Bing send small traffic not like google that send big traffics, So I think up to now we can not be bing a tool for internet marketing.

    Its currently 12 yesterday for Alexa rank. not bad :) Although Alexa is inaccurate but that says something. Though Live.com which is no5 in Alexa is redirected to Bing so that prob helped.

    Google competitors need to create something really innovative, not just clones of Google products.
