I loath bing. I especially loath it because it is the default search utility on my schools grad library computers.

LOATH. (new window)

So based on current trends, Google will be #2 sometime in the next few years. Who knew?

Bing the Merciless.

AltaVista FTW!

What Bing and a Yahoo might look like

Hot like the Road to Singapore

According to this Gizmodo article (new window,) Google just screwed themselves and Bing is now better.

Only if you are a whiny biatch...

For years, Google Search has been the highest quality web product I've ever used. It has remained consistently essential as an information-delivery mechanism. I typically hit it hundreds of times a day-on my phone, tablet, laptop and desktop. But with one update it wiped out all those years of loyalty and goodwill it had built up. Sure, I can opt out of social results with a click-but as with all things I don't want to have to opt out. I don't want to have to make that extra click. I want to enter a query, and have the most relevant results returned to me as quickly as possible. (And if Google genuinely doesn't think it's a big deal for people to take the extra step oft opting out, why has it focused so relentlessly on optimizing speed for so many years?)

Dogpile FTW!

Because People in power are Stupid: I loath bing. I especially loath it because it is the default search utility on my schools grad library computers.

Wow. That's a lot of hate for a tool. I can't imagine what you feel about Craftsman adjustable spanners.

Jeeves, how should I feel about this?

Really? Its not that bad. In fact its probably as good as Google. I just happen to use Google because I have been using it since pretty much when it came out.

I can see hating Yahoo or whatever...

I'm thinking I'm screwed as one of the things I do at work, but also freelance, is SEO work. I think the new Google is going to be a nightmare.

Also, I think Google is pissed that nobody gives a rat's ass about Google+.

Why the fark would I want to use cherries to search the intertubes????

Fark those spanners!! They can take them and adjust them right up their asses!

Dear Bing,

I've never heard anyone say "I don't know, let's Bing it!"....Just sayin'.

Sincerely,

Google

What someone who uses Bing might look like:

I'd love to see how many people still have Bing as their default search, but continue to type in Google into the Bing search bar and search from there.

I doubt Bing would release that data.

WTF are they talking about?

I searched on "brennans new orleans". First result- their official home page. Later results are what you'd always see: yelp, tripadvisor, etc.

On the side- directions to the place.

That show is just an updated AFV. He offers no commentary beyond what's actually happening "Ohhh I'm just riding my bike SPLAT HAHAHAHA" The Bing part is the absolute worst product advertising ever though.

jonny_q: Good.

Making your website ultimately machine readable with good semantic data is good.

Anything else that falls under the umbrella of "SEO" needs to just go the fark away.

Exactly. Clients of mine always ask if we do SEO along with design/programming. No. It doesn't work. Google spends billions-with-a-B on making sure their algorythym produces the most relevant results. Spending $1000 on SEO isn't going to do jack shiat. Google probably spends 80% of their R&D time/money essentially counter-acting SEO.

If SEO worked, Google would be a terrible search engine. Its not.

altavista.FTW!

Could my search results BE more useless?

I find Bing to be better the IE for searching videos, better format, and when you put the cursor over the image you get a preview of the video. The only thing that ever shows up on IE is Youtube.
