    Bing vs Google

    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.

    Ew?

    I tried Bing just for it's travel search, since it had been hyped as having super-advanced fare predictions and such. Turns out it only has that capability for flights involving major airports, which doesn't help me much in booking my Baton Rouge, LA to Helena, MT flight.

    Meh.

    There are aspects of Bing I do like, but Google is still my default search engine.
