Bing is a new search engine that is being promoted as providing more meaningful hits to quiries than Google.
Today, I found another interesting reason to pay more attention in Bing. Google always changes their homepage to promote cutsy and interesting anniversaries. It's amusing and interesting. Yet for things a bit more meaningful, take a comparison today:

Bing is a marketing push from Microsoft which I simply cannot stand. Also the commercials that have been on TV for it are so annoying I refuse to use it in any way shape or form.
Stitch,
I totally agree the commercials were such a turn off that I actively refuse to use the engine.
Hate to be a slave to marketting but gack.
I've tried Bing. Not terribly impressed. Does not seem to produce any better results than Google. No reason to switch, IMO.

Meh.
