Have You Ever Binged Yourself?

Advantages: It's the same as most search engines with little extra bits
Disadvantages: Google has become this icon in people's lives and Bing never really gets there.

...As a self confessed, EX IT nerd, I have always been pushed to use different search engines within my work. At college we were pushed to use many different search engines, and now even after I have left college, I make a point of trying different search engines every now and then just to ?give them a go?. I?m afraid however that Bing.com was not released until after I had left college and it wasn?t until I started doing a lot of research at the beginning of August on my holiday that I really began to spend any time on Bing and really use it. Before I go into my opinion of Bing, I?m going to talk you through what Bing is and how it can help the regular user on the internet. What is Bing.com?

To Bing or Not to Bing

Advantages: Doesn't automatically take you off-site, no invasive 'street view' on maps
Disadvantages: Cluttered homepage, catchprase

...-roman alphabets. Google does, of course, also home the massive projects of Google Maps and Google earth. It also has a translate function whereby you can translate a chunk of text between many languages, or simply type in the URL and it will translate the entire page for you. I also like that on notable days, the Google logo changes into an artistic representation of the logo with a twist. But?Google has been getting a lot of bad press lately, and I must admit I find their Google Maps ? while helpful ? to be an invasion of privacy. So I have been dabbling with changing my default search engine?it?s just hard to find something as good as Google. BingSo?how about Bing? It?s the brainchild of Microsoft and has the rather annoying and silly catchphrase ?Bing and Decide?. I?m still trying to work that one out, usually when I search for something I...

Being at Bing

Advantages: Read the review
Disadvantages: Read the review

...Doing a review on bing.com I thought it prudent in the beginning to have a comparative write-up of existing search engines but the practicality of my purpose is hardly feasible. Let?s just have check of the best available search engines. This is what you get with a google search: 1) Ask. 2) Yahoo. 3) Alta vista. 4) MSN. 5) Bing. 6) Cuil. 7) Lycos. 8) Hotbot. 9) Crawller. 10) Dogplie. 11) 20 search. 12) All the web. 13) AOL seach. 14) Ebay. 15) Exite. 16) Gigablast. 17) Iwon. 18) Google. 19) Joeant. 20) Mamma. 21) Netscape. 22) Open directory. 23) Webcraler. 24) Wikipedia Of course not in that order, you just can not make a comparative study, they all have their specialties. But let me restrict my self to google and bing. Google, because it?s generally considered as the best and unarguable the most widely used. THE HIGHS...
