Also, while I may have played with every search engine under the sun for a few days here and there, I started with Yahoo! in 1996, moved to Google in around 1999 and have stuck with google ever since. After a decade with one search engine, you’re going to have to devise something pretty damn amazing, useful, fantastic and unbelievable to get someone to switch. And you’re going to have to do it without sinking to the typical Yahoo! or Microsoft way of doing things (which is to clutter your experience up with so many features and advertisements and services that you don’t want that you can’t even find the damn search bar or your results in the pile of crap on the screen).

Bing loses my interest IMMEDIATELY when I go to their site and the first thing I get is a search field stuck in the middle of a stupid “picture of the day”.

I went there for a search. Not to look at pretty god damn pictures.

MG Siegler embarrasses himself and Techcrunch with every post he writes. He lavishes praise on everything that Apple does, and hates everything done by Apple’s competitors. Naturally, he would have harsh words for anything that Microsoft was associated with.

Unfortunately, in this case he’s right that, like all of this guy’s song-a-day songs, the performance and production are each unspeakably bad. However, the tune is slightly catchy, and if it were to be reworked and developed into a real jingle for a real ad campaign, it could be alright.
