Bing - white out christmas

Article on how Bing is fail. Classic. I don't ever remember ever having a problem with Google, and perhaps that is why I use it. In contrast I don't ever recall hearing anyone recommend Bing. Perhaps that is because the name alone is annoying and sounds like that M$ sound 'ding'. Check C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav for a reminder.

Just because you have good marketing, doesn't mean the thing will fly.

  1. Suprisingly I actually like the Bing name more than Live. I wonder how much cheaper MS got bing.com for as compared to Live.com? Sure live might have been a better name to encapsulate their services, but as the core of those services is search it makes sense to go to Bing. Afterall, "I'm going to Bing that" is a lot easier to throw into a conversation than "I'm going to Windows Live Services Search for that". Also keeping in mind that nobody has or ever will say either of those thing.
