BING

Not to be outdone by Google, Microsoft has come up with its own search engine now with a similarly catchy, silly sounding name:  BING.   It’s not exactly new, but it is the new and IMPROVED replacement for Microsoft’s Live Search.  It went online in June of 2009. By August it had gained over 9% of the internet search market.

How come I’ve never heard of this?

Improvements over Live Search include search suggestions, and the ability to save and share searches through an interface with Sky Drive, Facebook and email.

And Bing will now officially power Yahoo! Search.

The bloodfeud between the two modern megaliths, Google and Microsoft, wages on in cyberspace, as Google and Bing battle it out in an all out contest for domination of the Internet search market.  The stakes are high, but in open market competition, the winners are we, the internet search users!
