Bing VS Google

     I just can not understand why Microsoft wants to compete with Google.Yeah, I admit that Microsoft is very famous ,but I think Google is more professional than Microsoft in search engine.

     Do you get news from Bing?At least ,I do not,I think google is faster.I collect some comments to this question:

     1)I heard about it on that modern miracle, AM radio — zero load on the Internet or any search engines. Radio usually scoops the Web by several minutes, anyway.

     2)Radio is still better than the internet for some things , including the ability to BROADCAST.Too many people on a server and it crashes.

     3)Quite. And smog signals on city hills are visible to even more.

     4)They probably only misspelled it once, since the legend was probably automatically created based on the data points.

     5)Bing is a good search engine and Bing news needs some fine tuning. the only time I use google lately is for news search, but hey… Yahoo! news provides better quality and content.

     6)The latest news piece is really the only weak spot that I have seen with Bing. If I go to Google and do a search on a key word I get good information on the latest news - Bing is just slightly behind. Yesterday I did a search on “Bagel Heads” - Japanese body modifcation trend which is nothing short of WIERD. Bing had nothing on it and brought up only general Bagel Head information while Google yanked the wierd story with ease. Check it out - it’s INSANE! Anyway - this needs to be shored up…

     7)I think you missed the real story here… Are you reporting that Microsoft said that next time they’ll do a better job of MANUALLY moving promoting important news stories to the top of their results?

     Because if they’re manually promoting stories then clearly they have a problem with their page ranking algorithms. The whole point of having an algorithm-based search engine is that it does these things automatically. They shouldn’t have to pay people to surf TMZ all day and manually bump stories up.

     8)Agreed. I don’t care about a fancier UI. Google’s UI is simple and much more usable.

     For example, when I perform an image search on Bing, I *cannot* hit CTRL+click to open an image in a new tab/window. Instead, it just opens the search result in the original search window. I have to right click and then click on “open in new page” to get it to open in a new tab.

     It’s lame behavior like that is super annoying about Bing. It’s NOT for the power user.
