To Bing or not to Bing that is the question - or is it?

July 15, 2009 18:05 by NACH

Over the past few weeks we at Merton have noticed that more people are using the new Mircosoft search engine Bing to find us.  Granted its not in the same ball park as Google or even Yahoo in terms of site visitors but, and here is the interesting bit, there are lots of you out there using Bing than were ever using Live Search.  Does this mean people are switching to Bing?  Please let us know which search engine you use and if you do use Bing what do you think about it.  I've been replying to a post on the UK business labs forum here, and the feedback has been fairly positive, there has also been a lot of hype about live updated listings for tweets, I'm not so sure about that but it's a step in the right direction.

Microsoft bought semantic search company Powerset that uses updated methods to produce their results, which would explain why its better than msn and live could ever be...

Is that not the Mircosoft way, buying up companies using their technology and re-branding it as their own?  Still any improvements on msn or live can only be a good thing.  Not sure about this live twitter update thing though, band wagon jumping?

Although it was my bad sign for future, but I realize that my mind can be used for other experimental research with you. Please notice that I write this comment based on true story, and you are the chosen one to make this decision. I want you to become my partner in desired subject, we can research together with our skills, and you get the advantage by getting new experience with me. Sorry for giving my invitation on this comment page, but if you don’t mind, you can give me your opinion about my comment, I’m interested in developing your website as big site, so you can use it as your passive income.
