Bing doesn't give enough results for stuff. Even if I'm image searching and half the pictures are repeats and overlaps, I still want to see that I have 10 pages to go. I like illusions...

Still too early to tell. Now that its getting a lot of traffic they will still be tweaking it.

I set it to my default search, figure I'll give it a couple of weeks.

Google for searching, bing is so bloated and terrible looking. Google has a very clean look.

That about sums it up for me too.

Not to make it too political, but I'm not happy with the fact that Google consistently disregards military holidays (e.g. Memorial Day, D-Day.) They have their right to celebrate what they like, and I have the right to support what I like. But seriously -- commemorating Tetris over D-Day? I'm switching to Bing.

They're a bunch of Libs from Northern California, what do you expect? Also Memorial/D-Day isn't celebrated world wide but Tetris can be supposedly, albiet soviet style celebration....communism anyone?

Just ordered a DVD thru DeepDiscount.com using Bing and got 4% cashback. Woot, I'm 50 cents richer!

It's tough... on a lot of searches, I get the same results.

I guess that I have to give it to Bing for the better video search, but Google will probably have their own live preview within weeks now.

For right now I have blocked Bing on my smoothie. I can't make do just safe searches. I filter my internet for porn, bad language, gambling, and etc. I know it found some pretty pornographic stuff. Most of it is blocked anyway by urlfilter, but I don't take chances with 9 year old. So I keeps it clean as possible.

Bing has some nice features, but it doesn't do nearly as well of a job with getting results as google does.

I don't understand this whole porn thing with Bing. It can't be that hard to find porn with any other search engine I'm sure. What's the big deal.
