Have you seen the new Bing.com TV commercials? They are fresh and funny, and I laugh every time I see one telling me how information overload is making me crazy. Bing is a "decision" engine, Microsoft says; not a search engine.
If you research online as often as I do [almost daily], then you might wanna give Bing a try. Now, Mr. Google is my loyal boyfriend, so I'm gonna be hard to win over, but like they say about married folks ogling others, "It doesn't hurt to look." :) Bing has a nice uncluttered format and a gorgeous new photograph featured daily. I enjoyed my quick tour and liked the way the link sketches would open up to view without having to actually go to the URLs listed.
Like I said, I'm a one man (or search engine) woman. USA Today has an interesting article on the merits of Google vs. Bing if you want to read more.

I've been avoiding it myself due to loyalty to Mr. Google (that two-timing rat!!). Maybe I'll give it a try though.
I've never heard of Bing! Thanks for pointing it out. Since I do so much research, I'm always looking for new places!

Jody, hope it gets ya where ya wanna go. How's the writing going?
Whoa, who says that about married folks? LOL!
Yeah, I'd never heard of Bing until I used the wifi on my laptop. The internet immediately opened to Bing and I was like... What??? I wanted my familiar google. LOL
I have heard of Bing, but have not tried it out yet. I'm on my way to check it out. enJOY your day!

Hey Angie, nice to see you over on May Contain Nuts. As for the Bing thing,thanks for highlighting it - must give it a shot.
Their ad campaign is great. I'll have to give Bing a try.

I hadn't heard of Bing, but now I have. I'll give it a looksee. I hope I don't feel too disloyal to Mr.Google. I'll take the tour. Thanks for posting about it. :)
Yep, use both. No prefrence. It was great seeing you last night. One thing I have done is quit searching the net for medical stuff. Scared the snot out of me everytime.

The only Bing I've ever heard of is Mr. Crosby!
I'm just not sure. Can I stray? Do I dare? I'm going to have to think about this a little while longer.
I finally figured out what 'bing' was! What??? Kinda like the song, "B.I.N.G.....oh!"
Jeanette, so sweet of you! Hope you have fun exploring Bing as a search engine.
Shammickite, LOL! Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, Debbie -- take all the time you need. Straying is never a decision to make lightly. :)
Hey, Boomer, made me smile.
I think I'd feel like I was having an illicit affair!
Liking the Bing thing. Thanks for the nudge to try, although it does feel a bit like cheating :)
I've never even heard of Bing until this. I'll have to go check it out. thanks.
