Bing is definitely making up ground. It didn’t fizzle after the initial launch and marketing.

Google is going down!!

Bing is so much better than the great omi god plex Google, in two years, Google will be wondering what happened to their market share.

There to busy killing businesses by banning adwords accounts and putting out phone crap. They have lost what made them good and there is big shift amongst those that made Google what it is.

Of course, you will always have fanboys that drink googleaid morning and night, like those that posted here earlier.

Regardless of whether Bing is better than Google, any marketing person will admit that publishing such findings on one of the competitor’s media distribution sites is ironic on the surface but genius at its core. What better way to lure users from the competitor’s service to at least try the promotion themselves?

It’s curious though that the promotion was about search capability and not email, online productivity applications or news/media yet that is what people are responding with. Is Google’s search so unforgettable that it’s not even mentioned?

I would like to add that Google News is much better. I just tried for fun to check out Bing news and it is really a joke. The most interesting thing is that it did not find any news about Bing’s recent outage. Censorship or slow indexing? Both suggest that this feature is still utterly useless.

You know it probably stings that they only viable way for MS to promote their product in video format is through the video service of one of their greatest rivals. I just find the irony delicious.

As far as me switching to Bing? Very unlikely. Everything Bing is doing for search can easily be patched into Google, and MS doesn’t offer me anything substantial to lock me into their service, while Google has Gmail, Reader, Wave, Goog411, Maps, Books, Blogger, Youtube, PS3MediaServer (via Google Code), and SOOOO much more!!

Microsoft has exactly nothing for me. Not even the Live network since I abhor the 360. Literally nothing ties me to them other than Windows 7.
