Finally Microsoft showed Us their new search engine called bing.com. Lets not comment the name because for me personally it will always be more similar to the Freinds TV Show then the search engine, but whatever.
Next thing - design. I like it a lot - much more then I like eg. google or yahoo design. We all get used to see search engines designs as simple as google. Simple is very good - nothing distract You while searching, but mayby its time for a change - mayby we could finally get some GUI (graphical user interface..)? Bing doesnt distract neither and has much better look!
I was using Bing for about a week now and I have to say I’m impressed - this is a hudge step forward for Microsoft search engine. I can’t say if it’s better then Google, I do not think so - It is different and it’s difficult to compare them both. Bing is rather a decision engine - something like that.
“Today, search engines do a decent job of helping people navigate the Web and find information, but they don’t do a very good job of enabling people to use the information they find,” said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO in a statement about the launch. “When we set out to build Bing, we grounded ourselves in a deep understanding of how people really want to use the Web. Bing is an important first step forward in our long-term effort to deliver innovations in search that enable people to find information quickly and use the information they’ve found to accomplish tasks and make smart decisions.” And this is exactly what Microsoft want to achieve with Bing and for sure they did a solid first step ahead… Time will show if they will succeed in it. So let’s define what is Bing? “Bing is a search engine that finds and organizes the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions.”
OK, That’s all for now.. In next post i’ll try to show You some Google vs Bing fight ;)) the score can be suprising…
