Bing is currently dropping sites and pages like theres no tomorrow (just like MSN always has done)i’ve noticed this with several sites.. they do come back though in the majority of cases.
Bing is a joke.. the all new search engine, yet behaves exactly the same as MSN and returns the same results.

Based on those numbers, a combined Bing/Yahoo engine would claim 28 percent of the market 28 percent vs. Google’s 65 percent — making the consolidated search platform a legitimate competitor. [...]

I think Bing will give Google a good reason for imroving thei search engine. Some good competition is required in the search engine market.

Why is there so much emotion (positive and negative) when a news story focuses on Microsoft? Let's stick with the facts and how they might or might not impact us. In what ways is Bing better or worse than Google or Yahoo? How will (or should) Bing's introduction affect marketers? Here are my newest thoughts on Bing, Yahoo!, and Google.

Maybe when they run out of four letter domains to rebrand their search with, they’ll actually work on the search engine itself?

I like how in the Bing TV commercial they imply that the use of Google and other old search engines caused the Global Financial Crisis. Did not like how they used a bing sound instead of saying the name — so cheesy. Microsoft’s best commercial ever is that little Asian girl doing photo editing. they should just make her their official spokesperson. Maybe have her do interviews, instead of Ballmer, as well. If she likes Bing better than Google, I may be convinced of its worth.

One thing that will likely help Bing’s usage & penetration … I’m sure Microsoft will make it the default search in IE browser updates. And make it a little tougher (a couple extra clicks) to change search used by IE.

I had a little laugh when I read ‘to really fix search, the average user needs a class on how to effectively use it ‘. Common sense tells me, that the fact that if you’re reading this article in on gigaom (commenting on it or even writing it) probably puts you in the top percentages of search savviness .

So what about someone like my mom (or your mom)? When she searches, she searches for head terms like ‘cell phone’ or ‘car insurance’. And she’s not going to take a class or even watch a YouTube video on how to search… she doesn’t even know what YouTube is. So for the search savvy, this engine isn’t a break-through – but I can already see the possible benefits of bing to users like my mom (vs. me).
