Bing vs Google - Bing it on Challenge
« on: 24 May 2014, 13:09:21 »
Microsoft Bing are trying to win over users of Google as a search engine -

So heres the Challenge - http://www.bingiton.com/?FORM=MD10CP&OCID=MD10CP

Thought I'd give it go as a Google user, as Im sure most people are, your ask to do 5 searches, the results are then listed side by side.

I chose search questions that were unusual and voted on what I would expect to see listed.

my Result was Google won 5, and Bing won 0.  ;D

Did it last year, Google 5, Bing 0.

Did it again this year, Google 4, Bing 1. So they are improving. I should give it another go in 5 years time.

I use Dogpile. Ok I know that this simply searches other search engines, but I got fed up with the advert crap and sponsored links on Google.   >:(

I really didn't know whether to click on that link or not, thinking it might take me to a world of casual voyourism and easy sex.  :-\

But it's that big red button with the " DO NOT PRESS " notice again!  ;)  ;D

I should try the challenge...  ...one day ;D

I find, in day to day use, both give broadly similar results for common subjects, and its worth using both for more niche stuff.

Google hasn't been working for me now for about 7 hours. Under these circumstances Bing wins hands down again!
