I doubt it. I've seen the ads, and it's on the MSN homepage but, google is just to entrenched already. I have not even thought of using Bing. Force of habit takes over, and I automatically go to Google as I'm sure plenty of others do too.

Thanks BigJay, I did and I do....Woah....changes are coming!!!

"Google it" sounds better than "Bing it" anyway... I use Google... have not tried Bing.

I Can't Explain

You think anybody would want to partner up with Yahoo at this point. "Yeah, can I have some junk IP and a side of crushing debt, please?"

I'd welcome the challenge, though... seeing Ballmer-era Microsoft team up with Yahoo against Google would be like watching two un-coordinated kids with coke-bottle glasses run a three-legged race against Chester the Cheetah. A vicious beatdown ensues.

So Google is looking to redefine online communications through it's new application called "Google Wave".

Basically a real-time collaboration/communication tool. Looks like they want to render e-mail obsolete. I sort of like e-mail, especially the privacy aspects of it. Anybody else know about Wave? Is the goal to kill e-mail altogether?

Well, they may have fixed their debt problems by throwing half their workforce over the railing last year (I know people who were there, in Silicon valley and The City, as Yahoo jettisoned everything that wasn't nailed down), but I have serous doubts that they're generating "piles of cash," regardless of any accounting black magic they may be cooking, and their IP is a joke, a pale collection of "me, too" concepts kited a day late in every case.

As for Microsoft... Bing is a name that will go down in MS History along with other "don't ever mention that around here again" names like Vista and Zune. It's been one self-inflicted wound after another since Gates stepped aside, and they don't show any signs of getting it. They fought for internet dominance and they lost. They tried to figure out how to re-invent the music business, and when they emerged form their conference rooms they were shocked to find that Apple had already done it. In the world of The Long Tail, Microsoft is finding points of entry closed off, and their mega-corp bluster isn't working this time.

In short, I stand by my opinion that watching these two clown-cars team up and take on Google would be hilarious. The headlines in the morning will read "Software Giants Barely Survive Savage Beatdown." I'll go out on a limb and predict that Yahoo won't even exist in 10 years. I mean, what happens to a company when the only product they can offer (Internet gateway services) is one that nobody wants?

I've tried a few searches in bing and never got a single relevant hit I was looking for.
With google you get a lot of hits, most also not relevant but at least some come back with what you are looking for.

Maybe bing will evolve, but if MS is involved it won't be for the benefit for the end users.
