Bing.com Goes Live

Bing.com a reincarnation of Live.com (of Microsoft product) has gone live last night. Some techno expert has various reviews. Commonly they give a fairly good review. RWW for example writes:

The main difference between the two search engines is that Bing offers more options on the left, including special sections for symptons, medication, children, etc. It also offers ‘related searches’, which is typically helpful with health-related searches.

As usual, Google offers a straight list of results, but again with Universal Search (in this case news and video results inline with normal webpage results). With Google you can get more options, but you have to click “Show Options…” – and we’re not sure how many users will do this. To be honest, I haven’t once clicked it in my daily Google searches since it went live a couple of weeks ago.

So, Microsoft’s Bing does hold promise in this type of search. Maybe it’s not all hot air after all…

What does Bing actually mean? It has various meaning from “a heap or pile” to “a blackish sweet cherry.”

I wish bing.com a big success. The success of bing.com, and yahoo.com will surely make google.com work harder to keep staying on top and if that’s the case, the consumer will benefit from it. That’s the good thing about a good competition.
