BING.com (But Its Not Google)

Dustin  |  Opinion & Reviews  |  June 30th 2009

I’ve been seeing a lot of bing.com commercials lately so I thought it may be time to look into this ‘new’ search engine. (In case you haven’t seen these yet you can check them out here.)

Bing.com, formerly Live Search (live.com), formerly Windows Live Search, formerly MSN Search (msn.com), went fully online June 3 2009.

It sports some cool new features (specifically with video and image searches) but beyond that it doesn’t seem to be much more than a new face on an old search engine. Microsoft is spending $80 – $100 million to advertise this ‘new’ search engine which, when it comes down to it, is just msn search with a new skin and some cool new bells and whistles.

So far, I haven’t found a reason why it is any better than Google or Yahoo. I will continue using Google as my search engine of choice and don’t see switching any time soon.

If you would like to read more about this, Wikipedia is a good place to start.
