Google is overrated, Bing is Live Search

Google has a huge part of the market because people are used to it. It gives lots of results and many irrelevant ones.

After having tried Bing for a couple of weeks, it doesn't seem to be too much different from the previous Live Search. Microsoft is trying to label Bing as a "Decision Engine", but this seems to be no more than marketing. Bing too gives a lot of irrelevant results.

What Bing has going for it is, mostly, a better name than Live Search

V-P MIS

Remember. Any significant feature in Bing that could long term increase Microsoft's search market share is only one upgrade away for Google adoption.

Well, they advertise

Bing actually advertise. I saw an ad on tv for them just yesterday - they're actually advertising a search engine on television!

That's likely how they've managed to get a foothold. If Google stuck an advert on the telly, I'm sure their share would grow even more.

Numbers?

Yep, sure stephend, that was Microsoft and their virus.......

Each 1% of search engine traffic is financially worth around, well, I don't know but I bet it is a big number!

Bing Virus

Last night, for a whole hour, every link I clicked on any web page, including Google, redirected me to a Bing search page. And, there wasn't even a contact us option on the Bing page to complain. Microsofts sales tactics only serve to turn me away from them.

Bing takes a tiny amount of market share

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
