bing! and microsoft pirates more ideas….
Posted by 408am on June 20, 2009
I’m just not seeing it. According to the commercials, bing! is supposedly the next evolution of the search engine but the results and structure look awfully similar to that of Google’s, the only thing I can see different is the preview area .. (bing.com’s appears at the side of the result instead as a link below the result..). What bing! doesn’t seem to have is an image search, document search, weather search, patent search, well the list goes on… in fact it lacks many of the features you would expect from any basic search engine. But in defense I must say that the bing! start page is more colorful than Google’s and so maybe that was what they where trying to sell in their ads, but honestly, as far as I can see I’m not fully understanding where Microsoft was going with this attempt.
Or maybe I’m over-reading it… and its just one more thing for Microsoft to pollute the market with because they felt left out.. at any rate bing! isn’t worth in my opinion the switch from Google and Microsoft will just have to do better next time… (I’m being sarcastic… )
